Keep in mind its Delta at around 50% and then all of AF/KLM/AZ make up the other 50. That seems pretty good to me.
But protecting our ratios is one thing, protecting our jobs in a down cycle or catastrophe is another.
We currently have NO protections. If trans atlantic cratered because of a massive attack in Europe or if the plague comes back, we would simply ratio down with our JV partners.
Jobs would be lost.
e?
50% may be the baseline, but you are a fool if you think the company will ever get there when we allow them to operate at 46.5%.
During the last TA the argument was made about ratio down with our partners. In the event something huge, like s massive attack, yes that can. But, I asked the question the last time...nothing in the contract requires them to ratio down. The contractual minimums are just that, minimums. There is nothing, in our contract, preventing us from doing more than 50% of the flying.
