And what did we get for that? $2500. big deal. The other thing I see is that there are "threats" as to how we would be harmed if AF parks an A380. They didn't pull down ANY flying in the last 3 years which resulted in DAL being out of compliance on the EASK metric, so what on earth would lead me to believe that they are gong to park those God awful things now? If anything, the addition of the 330s which will not be fully realized before the supposed end of this contract would put us back into the EASK compliance. I have no idea why 350s are even mentioned in this thing. They are going to have zero practical effect on this contract.
