So we have enough wide bodies on property and enough scheduled for delivery to fly more WB block hours than at any time in history, assuming the ER's really stay. Management's limitation is that they cannot place code on more than 40% of a foreign carrier on a route segment. Not an issue if we operate that segment. So management wants to go over 40% on a foreign carrier and that will allow Delta pilots to fly more WB block hours? It doesn't make sense to me. Haven't made up my mind, but didn't the ALPA scope compliance officer from national take a management position at Delta, on Delta's behalf, to negotiate this? How could allowing Delta to place code on 100% of a given Korean flight allow us to grow in EU? Why wouldn't we just expand in EU anyways and keep the 40% limitation in place at Korean? Especially if 321s are flying the 8.5 hour stuff out of JFK and BOS. What exactly will the WB then be flying?

I know, I jumped around a bit in there.
