EASKs go away. We will now use aircraft block hours.
Gauge will no longer be a factor.
Like the groundskeeper pointed out - a Delta Cessna will equal an AF/KLM A-380.
The "conversion" was only for purposes of clarity in the debate and they used our current fleets. A moment in time snapshot.
We are supposed to be flying 53% of the block hours. We now fly 51.
The new agreement takes it down to 49.
In the future they could pull all the 7ERs off the Atlantic and start flying Cessnas.
My question would be ===> what's the payrate on that Cessna?
OK so what block hour percentage are we currently flying in the AF/KLM JV right now?
Because we are supposed to be flying 50% already, although we got rolled when we allowed 50% to be defined as 48.5%.
Where does the 67% block hour number come from then? Even if thats with VA added in, the split with VA would have to be enormous (and in our favor) to put the entire trans Atlantic at that number.
Right now we currently fly 67% block hours and that is beause of the EASK measurement methodology. If we abandon EASK and only go for a pernamant 49/51 reset (in management's favor, once again…WTH by the way?) then how low can our 67% go, including AF/KLM and VA total?
