Their senior captains probably make less than your new hire-hire gate agents. Not putting anyone down, just making a comparison argument... ..and working for an airline, in ANY capacity, is a FANTASTIC job over there.. (think US in the 50s)..

Do you really think any joint venture with a Chinese carrier can be beneficial to a US based airline? |

Yes I do. A JV will allow American to enter at least 2 more markets in central China that are hubs for China southern.
I hope they are wrong of course. |

Either way, I sincerely hope you’re all correct and that this will be the first joint venture with a Chinese carrier that’s actually beneficial to pilots and flight attendants. |

I hope they are wrong of course. If and when China southern joins thirdworld and gets a JV with AA, You will see us fly to their hubs from our hubs. |
AA joint venture with Qantas

They did say that but I think that was in response to doing it without a JV partner.

Doug said only more China flying with a JV partner to give domestic feed. If anything, it would increase our presence there, not hurt it. If we net one new flight on our metal from either JV, that’s one more than we would’ve had. Qantas JV secures AKL, adds Brisbane and maybe Perth China Southern makes our China flying more profitable and may add secondary cities in the future like Guangzhou |

Well, we want JV partners, but we need SCOPE protections as well. We want the net gain in flying going to us, not our ‘new friends.’
Delta has a horrible history recently of losing WB routes to JV partners. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It’s my understanding that delta may not fly to as many destinations as they did before their JVs but they have just as many international block hours. Instead of multiple destinations they fly a ton of flights to CDG and AMS. Block hours are all matter, not number of destinations. |
