If the one or two Delta flights were full, I was left with pages and pages of AF/KLM connections through AMS and CDG.
They can't "pick up the flying we drop". Although you might see routes shifted between the JV partners.

If we cut capacity, they cut capacity.
The JV partners sacrifice/rewards are shared over the Atlantic and can't be more than 3% out of balance...
