An enormous giveback and loss of pilot jobs and pilot upgrade opportunities.

Complete falsehood. There is no such downside protection in the TA language because we are only protected for block hours now...not seats or aircraft size. The Euro's can upgrade to an all A380 fleet for their side of the JV, and cut back their block hours as a result. Delta would then be REQUIRED to reduce block hours so as not to exceed our share of the
block hours.

An enormous concession that will directly reduce FO seniority and hiring opportunities for pilots not hired yet.

Another massive concession and a completely legal method of removing HIPAA rights from Delta pilots.
