If this gets voted down, what is ALPAs plan to get the company INTO compliance under C2012? Since we are going to be parked by the NMB for eternity.
I suspect management's plan is for Alitalia to leave the JV as announced on January 1, 2017 (or sooner). They will immediately be in compliance. Then as we add 330's we'll have to pull down some frequency unless AF/KLM actually adds some larger widebodies.
That's a guess. Talk to the codeshare committee (I haven't yet). They can give you a better understanding of the consequences of switching from EASK to block hours.
Indian food farts...your poor FO's! I hope they ate with you!
