We were able to trade that for Pacific wide protections. Even Bill Bartels was touting that agreement as a significant acheivment of the Roberts administration. Strangely however he voted against it while touting it as a great deal for the pilots.

"""The existing Section 1 E. 2. prohibits code share on Fifth Freedom flights from Japan to Asian cities beyond Japan unless 316 weekly NRT slots are utilized. The 316 slots protected 80 percent of the slots that were in use when this provision was negotiated in 1998."""

You may be amazed by pilot ignorance but this was not communicated effectively and in the opinion of some was an inadequate trade. I fault the previous administration for their lack of transparency and poor communication about the lowered protection and metric conversion used in that theater. They operated in complete isolation and darkness to avoid oppositional voices until the deal was done and it was too late.

OK Honesty Check, it was communicated just peachy keen. Perhaps you just didn't want to read it. With the Japanese government pushing Intl flying to Haneda: what use was it to protect Narita flying? Improving the overall protections made more sense period. BTW every other "poster" here knows some one or claims to. I know a few people myself. The reports I hear of reps supporting things and then claiming they didn't when they get blow back are pretty rampant. That isn't leadership. That's CS. JMO, OFG
