ACL, you know darn well Delta is not in compliance with PWA 1.P.4:
"In the case of the rolling three-year measurement periods ending March 31, 2014, and thereafter, the Company shall be required to maintain no less than 48.50%"
We are now in the "cure" period and Delta has until March 31, 2015 to come into compliance as mentioned in 1.P.6:
If the Company is not in compliance with...Section 1 P. 4. for any measurement period, the Company will cure any such breach...
Example: If the Company’s EASK capacity share is out of compliance with its minimum EASK allocation for the three-year measurement period ending March 31, 2014, then the Company will return its EASK capacity share to compliance with its minimum EASK allocation for the three year measurement period ending March 31, 2015.
- Per the PWA were supposed to have 50% share of the flying
- The PWA gave the company 1.5% "wiggle room" on a 3-year average
- On March 31, 2014 we ended the first 3-year look-back.
- Delta fell short of even the 48.5% lower band and clocked in at 46.8% (OAG data says 47%).
- We are actually below our historic share of flying before adding Alitalia to the TAJV, when 52% went to 47.5%*.
Using the language of the PWA referenced above we are not in compliance with the terms spelled out in PWA 1.P.4.
Anybody representing D-ALPA saying otherwise is doing the Delta pilots a great disservice.
Please understand, I'm not trying to show you wrong.
What I believe is important, is to use proper terminology and be factually accurate, even if it makes our current position look bad.
If we truly wish to succeed in C2015, we will need to put on our big boy pants and stop attacking each other and call a spade a spade.
If something was good, lets call it good.
If something isn't so good we better make sure to call it that, even if it pains us to admit it.
When it comes to C2012 lets focus on what was good and what wasn't so we can achieve superior results next time. Looking back and calling C2012 all bad or all good doesn't serve any of us. looking back and saying "we can improve that" is our best way forward.
We have a great group of guys here. This petty back and forth is pathetic. I believe without a doubt ALPA will be our bargaining agent in C2015 so we better get our act together. It will take all sides to put aside our differences and come to consensus, that's the source of unity and our key to success in C2015.
Cheers

*Based on our target of 52% as spelled out in the PWA, 47.2% if you choose to use the actual share of Delta flying of 51.7% at the time of the induction of Alitalia in the TAJV.
