I will defer to the experts who negotiated this deal. I think since NB flying is not included in "Partner Global Flying" it reverts back to Section 1 E. of our contract "Permitted Arrangements with Foreign Air Carriers" which is kind of the penalty box for codeshare operations without a Joint Venture. It limits DL sales to <40% unless the operation is flown by Delta pilots and has seat limits too.

If so, this is a gain for us, although there really isn't much of this kind of flying that has ever gone on and the company has never had much interest in codesharing on these flights. The A320 operations from Guadeloupe to MIA and JFK come to mind.

Sent the question in via Delta TA Questions and will report if I am wrong.

Going off on a tangent - I think the cure for Global Scope violations is really cool stuff. I have always had a problem with what I have thought is a system rigged against us where mediators are unlikely to award the true nature of scope damages; in the tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars. Then, we do not distribute awards in a way I consider fair. It has long been my sense that #1 on the list did not lose a damn thing, but usually gets paid the most. On the other hand #10,000 probably lost a lot and gets compensated the least. The new cure language, a staffing cure, has been something we scope nerds have talked about for at least 20 years. Very cool to see it happen and for Delta's Negotiators to get it done!
