Some legacy agreements suck more, and some less. You like the AF JV better? I had never looked at it that way before, but it's a good thing AF bought KLM, or we would have a legacy KLM agreement to comply with also.
Lets see:
ASMs are shared 50%-50%
The balance reviewed annually
Remedies (cuts) if the balance goes below 47%
Show me where our DCI scope has anything close to this level of annual review and capacity control...
To me its a matter of motivation of the negotiators.
What affects your own back yard, you might watch more closely...
