One other thing to add. Absent revolutions in Egypt, Kiev and Syria the company would have been in compliance. Those flights had nothing to do with the JV. As I have said I expect the pilot group to be compensated for the loss of jobs.
As for EASK being smoke and mirrors it's the only thing that matters as far as the contract and we have very good people watching the numbers.

Not to mention AF took advantage of another massive loophole in the agreement. While we captured below floor cargo in the ESK metrics, they figured out they could add an all cargo 747 that wouldn't count one ounce towards the limits. Then again, there's no money in cargos.
Indeed.

We surrendered our Narita language in exchange for a bucket of warm spit. We got a promise from management that they would only cut the Pacific flying to 85% of current levels. Gee thanks. They can whack another 15%. Why would we agree to that? We got another useless production balance in return that starts from a lower base line. We ratified more job losses.

"Converting the 316 weekly slots to annual block hours results in a value of 116,400 hours, representing 54 percent of the 2014 projected Pacific block hours. While the 316 slots protected 80 percent of the NRT slots in 1998 (but only 54 percent of the currently projected Pacific block hours), LOA 13-03 protects 85 percent of all Pacific block hours."
Public math alert, but 85% > 54%.

Sadly I think you're right. She seems to have np appreciation of what a 11.8 second quarter mile with a 120mph trap speed means. Incredibly she even rolled her eyes at the 7 speed manual transmission. I then mentioned the HUD as the clincher and she told me to bid the 737!

I would not say it's highly likely it will be violated. Now if the Far East experiences a huge financial meltdown and two or three wars/revolutions I will agree with you.
