The situation with AF/KLM is fluid because they are in deep trouble. Their current plans are to downsize aircraft size however they may now cancel the 787 order. They are however in deep trouble. I hope RA has a plan B for European feed in the event it all collapses.
How about AF runs a EASK deficit for a while? First, it would take a while for us to get ahead as far as we were behind before we wrote it off. Second, AF could just send their pilots a few Euros and an ALPA dvd and call it even for the violation later.
There is plenty of European feed, but keep pretending to solve company level problems and spreading FUD rather than engaging in trade unionism with your fellow pilots. It's been going over swimmingly for you here.
