For purposes of debate they converted EASKs and used the new metric.
The numbers I posted are aircraft block hours.
Yes, the existing contract uses EASK's and the new one
uses block hours.
Does it
convert to block hours though? Or does it just allow 50/50 block hours? Because that's how it was written, which would mean a significant and immediate loss of widebody jobs that we'd never get back.
Even if it "converted" to block hours, that still sets the stage for a significant permanent majority of AF/KLM EASK's from now on. If it guts our current block hour premium and allows an immediate 50/50 split (really a 49/51 split…) then we're really getting hosed. Who would EVER agree to this and why?
