An accurate comparison to the GE90 at idle vs. another engine at full power is the powerplant of an E170. I looked this up a while back.

After all we've lost, so peeps can travel for less than it cost 20yrs ago, I don't really care what the passengers think about my wife/family accompanying me on those rare occasions.

I say take her and enjoy... it's a great layover for the spousal unit.

The company didn't ask for anything but I'm sure they are amazed at their good fortune.

So currently we have 0% protection for Pacific block hours and then you claim that 85% protection is a concession. Please explain that logic.

Block hours are jobs. Allowing them to flex down 15% from current levels when they are currently in violation of our current scope close is not appropriate.
