Through October 16.
Total TA EASK's (in Millions) : 168,414.
Delta Share = 80,410 or 80,410/168,414 = 47.7% of total
If we drop down to 46.5% of the total,
Delta share becomes .465 x 168,414 = 78,312
We lose 2,098 EASK's worth of flying
In that same time frame, Delta operated 44,459 frequencies.
There is a leap day in 2016 so 44,459/366 = 121.47 frequencies/day. Divide that number by two to get 60.736 daily roundtrips.
Delta's 80,410 EASK's/60.736 daily Delta round trips = 1,323.9 EASK's/roundtrip.
2098 EASK loss/ 1323.9 EASK's per trip = 1.58 daily round trips.
Don't know how that exactly relates to the quoted block hour numbers from the Contract FAQ.
Still awake?
Yep, thanks for asking.
One problem I have with your accounting. You say these are numbers through Oct. If you're talking calendar year, you're fudging numbers in dividing flight frequency by 366. The loss is actually 2 daily round trips per day if we're talking calendar year for all your figures above. And that's 2 round trips per day below our already out of compliance 47.7%. Use the actual 50% target, not the 48.5% floor (now ceiling) in current contract, and we get a more accurate picture of what we're giving away in metrics.
