Oops, I guess that's 2 questions. That's fine. I don't know that there is an answer to it.

Denny, I think the bigger problem we have right now is identifying the problem in the first place.
It's like an un-stabilized approach, typically it starts pretty far away from the airport and snowballs from there, early recognition is how to avoid it in the first place.
For the TAJV there's a case of "not looking bad" that has muted the early indicators of the problem.
If we have "constructive engagement" then it goes both ways and Delta is interested in making it right -
if we speak up.
I'm certain there have been discussions with the company wrt underlying our share of the TAJV flying, but all of that has been kept relatively quiet when it comes to the general Delta pilot population.
Compare the communications about our
existing agreement of share of flying on Transatlantic routes (PWA Section 1.P.) with the communication about
potential threats to our flying on transatlantic routes (NAI) and you'll see what I mean.
Only once we have a robust way of objectively talking about where we stand can we even consider the remedies. We aren't there yet and it will take all of us pulling on the same rope to get there.
Cheers
George
