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?

Well Scoop, our block hour ratios between us and DCI will be measured for the first time in January 2014. If unbalanced in DCI's favor, management has until July 2014 to show DALPA the plan to correct the imbalance. What if DALPA simply says: "those ratios didn't represent our fair share"?
