Not only will Delta miss the target of 50%, They will miss the lower limit we gave them, the "just in case" wiggle room and they will miss that on a rolling 3-year average. So basically anything under 50% means non-Delta pilots are providing that share of the Trans Atlantic capacity...
Not only is that not fair, it doesn't meet the requirements of the PWA.

But here's the kicker:
In todays earnings call Management boasted that even thought Atlantic capacity will be up by a percentage point or so, the schedule will be flown by 16 fewer jets because of up gauging.

So in summary:

• Euro flying dramatically cut because of crisis
• Delta flying a smaller percentage of the already reduced JV flying than spelled out in PWA
• Even though Delta is adding capacity they still will miss the lower limit and are boasting about doing so with 16 fewer jets.

All these factors mean fewer 7ER pilots and fewer augmented 7ER crews...It matters, because there are more 7ER pilots than in any other category.

Maybe next time the company and DALPA decide that our pay has reached "our fair share" and that any upcoming increases will be withheld...it wouldn't be any different really.
