Regardless, IMO the cap will be hit before Sec 6 & possibly before the summer. And my favorite part of the contract.....once the # of 76 seaters has been established, it will not be reduced. Bye-bye DC9's, hello large RJs.
5 years was just a thin air number. I was just trying to establish what you meant by "rapidly". Nothing nefarious.
Wrt your second paragraph, DALPA has been notorious for writing contracts like that. I am looking for the limit on international code share and what determines it. It used to say that as long as our floor hours remained above X, the company could add as much as they liked (basically). If that floor was passed.. if we went below that number, there was no provision to reduce the codeshare. I found that horrifying. I was told by the ASSociation not to worry.. we never go below that number.... Seems to me that a snapshot percentage with a weighting favorable to us would be preferable, but then again, I don't have a seat at the table.
