Looks like for 320B’s there were 865 actual lines in Jun. They project 839 lines in July. The ALV was increased 6 hours or just over 7%. That would be a loss of 61 lines if system block hours were static or about 804 lines.It looks like block hours are up 3 or 4% not down for 320B’s from June to July. Sounds about What you would expect to see with new aircraft coming online. No black helicopters are hovering!
Edit: ALV increased was actually 5:45 not 6 but does not change the numbers much!
