I'm new here, so I apologize if my ignorance is on display. Please feel free to explain this to me like you would explain it to a kindergartener.

Doesn't this mean we simply redefined compliance in order to allow the company to call themselves compliant?
· If we increase Delta’s block hours by 3.57% (in order to get into EASK compliance), then Delta should have flown 53.0% (by my math there is a 3.98% reduction between “should have” under C2012’s EASK and the minimum under C2015-TA)
So, doesn't that mean this new agreement would allow management to reduce our share of the block hours by 5.7%? 53/50=.943
· The use of aircraft block hours provides better downside protection since the reduction of a single Air France A380 is roughly the available seat kilometer equivalent parking of two Delta A330s.
Doesn't this work the other way too? Now they can add a single Air France A380 and only have to add one Delta A330 instead of two? It's not only downside protection; it's also upside prevention?
