Management just said the JV network will be growing 3%, but that 3% is lower growth than they anticipated. The JV will be growing 3% while we pull Delta aircraft off the Atlantic and put them on the Pacific. The JV imbalance has just been made even worse...during the "cure" period. It's a blatant in your face dismissal of our MEC as any threat to management whatsoever. This was the action to bolster Richard's statement that labor risk has been completely taken off the table at Delta.

This is troubling coming from you shiznit. You're supposed to know this stuff. Not to mention it's been stated at least a dozen times in the last few days. The remedy is either getting back into compliance, or ending the JV. If they have to fly half full jets across the Atlantic to get into compliance, then that's what they need to do. Either that, or end the JV. We can't sell pilot jobs anymore.

What's your position on that shiznit?
