Corporate profits are higher because we no longer have to have the actual airplanes to fly the schedule. That increases YOUR profit sharing and you don't have to do anything! Just think how much better off we are going to be once we get Aeromexico and China Eastern signed up to do some of our flying. (Until C2015 when they take away more of our profit sharing)

Virgin added back a second LAX-LHR after "moving it" to ATL.
Same story as has been going on for years at the other Transatlantic JV.
Unless you have your eye on the ball you "might" think we are "winning"
This is the game we are playing:
- Capacity control provided by Delta pilots.
- Extra flying to fill the new "void" by the European JV partner.
- Promise a 2.7% increase in flying at the cost of a 4-year compliance window, then fail to meet even the pre-increase amount.
- Get Delta pilots to agree to "global production balance" and then redeploy the global Virgin flying to focus on US-routes: priceless.
Cheers

It's a great state, I love the place but don't fall for the phony get rich quick schemes! Be careful out there!

Why do we always have to fight tooth and nail for bare bones scraps and still end up having to file grievances?
