We fly to CDG from CVG/ATL/SLC (Not NYC).

I've seen their routemap and it doesn't tell the story of who has taken or given routes with the JV. If we didn't have the JV do you think DAL would be doing those routes from CDG to the US that AF does now? The only route they do that we used to do it the JFK-CDG route. I don't know if any of the stuff we are doing into CDG used to be done by AF, but I know we wouldn't be doing CVG or SLC to CDG if we didn't have the JV so that is a plus. I've also heard that SLC-AMS is coming and it will be done in the 330 so there is another route we wouldn't do without the JV. I also think that there are some East coast cities that DAL will fly to CDG from when the economy turns around. I think we've gained more than we've given so far.
