Carl, there is downside protection in the new block hour metric. If AF/KLM flies a 380 now we can fly anything, a 777, 330, 76, or 75. If AF/KLM pulls back because of a downturn and puts a 777 or 330 on the route, we can still fly anything because the block hours are the same.
Is this good? Not really because Delta got their ass in a crack because AF/KLM didn't pull back but we did. But it is downside protection in the contract. He is technically right. Blind Squirrel Theory.
