Where is the letter/memo saying we will increase European flying by 3%?

But Hauenstein's memo says we are reducing capacity:
"In the next few months, reductions to capacity in the Atlantic will free up B777-200ERs and 767-300s, allowing us to deploy these aircraft to the Pacific. As a result of the availability of these smaller-gauged aircraft, we will retire four less-efficient B747-400 aircraft sooner than planned."

Easily. I don't think there were but about 20 more age 65's happening in the remainder of this year, and that's off of all fleets. I just went to the DL Net to look at the category lists. As of Sept. 1 in the 747 category, there are 214 A's and 236 B's.
A 25% reduction means -53.5 A's and -59 B's; a loss of 112.5 top paying jobs.
I don't think an early retirement program is going to draw out 54 Capts. and 59 F/O's.
On DL Net you should read the 747 memo, as well as the Q+A's (link at bottom of story) about the sudden parking of 4 whales, and who's going to fly what/where.
Seems they are going to pull some 777's/A330's (Delta's jets) off the Atlantic routes and use them to cover the parked 747 flying in the Pacific. Guess who's going to pick up the Atlantic flying? Our JV partners. That's what they said...
So, how's that JV Compliance grievance coming?

Or a phrase tossed around when race is forced in everyone's face for anything and everything 24/7 until it becomes a political and moral imperitive for very specific partisan politics. But you knew that.
