Did you read that section? Because you are quoting it wrong. First it’s not 3% asm growth you are referring to. It’s block hours. ASMs are used to establish the relative size of the partner company in that section. ASMs are also referenced in 1F3 regarding amendments to existing codeshares. Second, it’s 1% per year block hour growth required...the 3% is only required for the establishment of/maintaining a new code share measured from comparison to base month.


1F2: For a “new partner”: 3% growth from the base year the codeshare was established. Once we are at that 3% threshold (theoretically in the first year from base-comparison year for it to be authorized in the first place), it’s 1% per year block hour growth required. That’s not that much.

1F3: To renew or amend an existing codeshare: 1 block hour and 1 pilot have to be added in the previous 12 months.


And as for the comment about them having pax on us as well...that’s fine, but I’d rather have their pax on us without a codeshare by us growing organically into their market.
