- Since the US population is more than twice the other TAJV countries' population combined (322M/143M) one would think that the JV is flying US ticketed passengers by a margin of 2 to 1. The appropriate production balance would be around 33% Euro/66% US. What is the Company's rational for Delta pilots to fly less than half of the combined passengers, consisting primarily of Americans?
-If the new floor of block hours for TAJV is 650,000, what are we currently flying? If it 640,000 then that's a decent protection. If it's 600,000 or less, that's basically pointless.
Three Answers, to the extent of available public data:
(1) Pretty close to 85 (extrapolated from Contract Awareness Bulletin 15-07) However, be aware that the contract still requires 48.5% or an international widebody block hour floor also kicks in.
(2) Makes sense, but that is not how the data shakes out. Some of these numbers are posted in the Scope Compliance & Analysis reports. On the trans-Atlantic markets the passenger mix DL/partner is pretty close to an even 50/50. On other markets, like South America, the mix from airlines like GOL (who does not serve the same markets Delta does) is something like 10/1 in favor of Delta. (SC&A reports)
(3) We do not have the data for the exact metric measured, "global widebody block hours + trans-Atlantic 757" but total international block hours in 2014 was 662,403 (SC&A reports)
