Air France/KLM/Alitalia JV: We get half of the EASK. An EASK is a number which takes into account the passenger and cargo capacity of the operation by kilometers, meaning an A380 equals several 767's. If you were in Seattle you would see a Delta 767 going to Paris making it's share of EASK's. We typically have a one year measurement window to allow management to flex for seasonal demand patterns.

There has been a lot written here about the fact that Air France is not in balance. We grew our share when Alitalia joined the JV and expanded the window to three years. Due to a number of factors we've not yet caught up with our half. We're working on it.


Other JV's: We will not decrease flying year on year and our share is 75% of the Company's share of revenue flying.

LEC meetings are quarterly to the best of my knowledge.
