...We fly to various destinations with two men crews (under 117 we can do almost half of Europe with a crew of 2) and if we add 737s like United has, we can continue to down gauge the flying....

As soon as we signed the JV in 2000, AF went on a 777 buying spree to add more capacity over to the US. We have been shrinking our European operation for the past 15 years and Anderson is pretty clear he prefers to sell tickets not fly passengers, across the pond.


Have we been shrinking? I am on the ER, so I should probably know this, but how many flights do we have across the Atlantic compared to 5 or 10 years ago? Where can I even find that info?
