That's a misunderstanding of previous scope agreements. All DL is required to do with a JV partner is fly at minimum 4x weekly flights to the JV country. JV partners can take over nearly all of the flying between their country and the US. We then need to operate our WBs elsewhere (to include SA, Trans-Atlantic/Pacific, including all US-Hawaii).
So yeah, if we JV SAS.. expect the majority Norway/Sweden/Denmark on SAS. Meanwhile we will add more 767s frequency on Merica-HNL or finally restore China flying and it makes up for the loss of ARN & CPH.
