I am not. I have already made the assumption that the lower ratio is not being met. I was told the 650,000 hour floor is essentially 1 trans Atlantic flight below the current level of flying. (680,000)

How am I confusing the two? How many transatlantic trips could disappear if management complies with the 650,000 global hour requirement versus our current operation of about 680,000 hours? That is a reduction of 30,000 hours. I am trying to understand the DALPA claim of only a reduction of 1 trans Atlantic flight. If we operate the flying else where fine but the 30,000 hour reduction comes out of our present operations and that's way more than 1 flight anywhere.

Give it a whirl, I'll wait.
