The Notepad memo from ALPA on Global Scope insinuated essentially 1:1 WB growth via block hours from these partners. There is some language that dictates exactly which WB flying counts as global scope, but it sounds like a vast majority of it qualifies. The only form of agreed upon remediation is additional wide-body pilot jobs if Delta fails to meet the quarterly audits by ALPA.

IMO, this points towards a handful of more WB orders in the next 1-3 years or one very big WB order (least likely). But, managements current strategy is disheartening to say the least when trying to forecast growth/network. Though, I can’t see them blatantly disregarding this Scope when remediation steps are clearly spelled out.
