I don't want this part of the agreement to be one of those "we didn't expect them to do that...." when we are flying one A321, to their A380. But at least Delta keeps half the profit, right?

In fact, our BH is LIMITED to 50% +/- 1%. So even if we wanted to fly more frequencies, we can't. I want those jobs at Delta!
Both AF and KLM are accelerating their planned retirements of 747's and replacing them with A330's.
