We'll see what the $2000.00/hour company lawyers will be able to come up with to shoot holes in yet another section of our bulletproof contract.
I have asked many times if what I stated could happen. I get the non-answer. They are our "former" routes but they will be "new" routes to the JV, so you tell me. What do you think?

I much prefer to strike when the iron is hot. We need to create "opportunities" wherever and whenever possible. For the company, having AF/KLM doing the flying suits them just fine. They get half the profit for none of the work. The only benefit is that we are paid and our total compensation is way below that of the AF/KLM pilots. I am not a fan of undercutting out brethren, but we are where we are.
