Meanwhile...the MD-11 were content to switch our JV Scope measure from Seat Miles to Block Hours, which would make one of our 757's flying to Europe equal to a KLM/Air France A380 flying to ATL!

I didn't know that.
Timbo is right Mantooth. While it's true there is a global production balance based on ASM's, the minimum floor of that production balance is about 15-20% LESS than the ASM's we're currently flying. This leaves plenty of room to shrink into the minimum had we voted YES to your concessionary TA and gave up EASK's.
