As brought out by several folks, our Negotiators are smarter than to allow that massive loophole. There may be other weaknesses in the AIP, but that ain’t one apparently.
I'd hope its not so generic as just WB block hours. Yes, AF flying a 350 over here and we fly a 757 isn't counted. But what about in reverse? Say Virgin flys 20 321XLRs in a premium config like jetBlue wants to do, are we not viewing that as a threat because they aren't WB block hours? Could our Western EU partners grow 321XLR to USA with impunity? Another like minded example, Mexico-US transborder 1:1 ratio. Say we afix it to NB block hours, then AM flys a shiz ton of E190s or RJs transborder. Shouldn't we also be looking at revenue, block in additon to aircraft type? (Like RASM?) What was wrong with EASK?
