I'm not sure where you are getting believing management being out negotiated and Korean doing all the flying. USA-Korea flying is above JV minimums and growing significantly above it 2020
AF/KLM JV ASKs are near minimums but the JV flying has grown across the Atlantic along with Delta block hours. Moreover Delta is growing 15% in the UK next year. When you start to look at the facts it gets harder to justify the Korean Scope Violation as impactful on jobs vs just a technicality.
If the combany loses the arbitration on the interpretation they'll simply ask where to send the check, something that could have been resolved months ago.

To the first bolded comment, that was managements reason for why the Shanghai hub fell apart...China Eastern wanted to do all the flying. I believe they’ve made similar statements about how Korean Airlines wants to do all the flying. And that it’s difficult to maintain the required levels of international flying when you’re at the mercy of the hometown airline allowing you a lot of access to their hub. I didn’t read too closely because I was detecting an excuse early on. I could be wrong like I said in my earlier post. This was a couple years ago.
To the second bolded comment, why would management resolve an issue and send us a check months ago, when they don’t think they’ve done anything wrong? They think the Korean and Japan JV metrics are a cumulative, combined figure, and DALPA says they’re separate metrics, and both are independent numbers.
