That's correct. At that time, AF/KLM constituted the entire
Atlantic Joint Venture.

That's meaningless because our contractual language didn't specify airlines joining or removing themselves, it specifies
percentage shares of the EASK's between the two sides...regardless of those sides' member airlines. That single act REDUCED our share of EASK's and INCREASED the Euro's share of the EASK's.

Whatever. Delta pilot's share of the flying has DECREASED while the Euro's share has INCREASED. This has damaged Delta pilots and continues to do so. People who try to spin this to the contrary are beyond understanding.
