So if we were to meet the "contractually agreed to" numbers then we would be flying
more than our "fair share" of the flying. No wonder DALPA does not seem too concerned about this.
This brings up numerous questions:
If the contractual number is not fair - why did we and/or our partners, and the company agree to them?
If the contractual numbers do not represent our fair share of the flying then what is our fair share?
Why don't they just say the company is not meeting its obligations and we expect them to correct it?
OBTW - Who had the great idea of a 3 year measurement window anyway?

Not only that, a couple of paragraphs above your quote they say "......, but the evidence also shows that within the TAJV, the Delta pilots have maintained their "fair share" of the work."
Now I take exception to that. I say the contract defines what our "fair share" is and we are not going to be in compliance with it in on March 31, 2014. At least it doesn't look like the Company will be..... This begs the question: What will it take for the Company to be in compliance in 2014? On page one of the Update they say "......compliance is not a snapshot but a rolling three year period." That's going to be a lot of flying to make up.....
I'm going to the PUB event in Seattle in about an hour and will ask these questions....
