UK flying has been removed from the AF/KLM section because we have since done the Virgin JV deal.
"Status quo" would be 53.1%. Meaning that is the number we would have to be flying to be in compliance with the existing AF/KLM language.
We are currently flying about 51.5%. The company is in violation. That's how we got the $30 million.
The new TA resets the requirement to 49% which brings them into compliance and gives them another 2.5% they can cut or allow AF/KLM to grow.
If the TA fails memrat we go right back to the old language and we can grieve it again in the future if the company is still out of compliance.
Are you talking about EASK's or block hours when you say we need to fly 53%?
Because the current language (that the company violated without shame for 4+ years and counting with no intent to ever honor) is language about our "half" which is pathetically defined as 48.5%. They are still under that, so it seems they would need to do the 53% you mentioned to eventually re-comply with a perpetually lower baseline. The block hours we fly becuse of the EASK's is higher than their's, so it seems like you are talking EASK's instead of BH's.
