So with the relaxed scope proposal in NA2015, AF/KLM could have pulled the planes from the Asia routes and used them to fly a larger share of the Atlantic market. The concessionary BH conversion and lower percentage of flying would have crushed the Delta pilot group. We dodged a bullet on the proposed section 1.

That is the case now because they'd get further out of balance with our current JV requirements if they tried to add those heavies to the US market instead of parking them. Had we voted to change back to block hours, AF/KLM could have their big iron on those US routes because they are profitable, while we shrank to small gauge (lower paying) aircraft.
As Gunfighter said, we dodged a bullet that the Donatelli regime shot at us.

Another reason why esk's would've hurt us. Not trying to play the conspiracy theorist, but these changes at Air France were not decided overnight. With Delta telling us there is no more $$ for our contract then subsequently investing into GOL, China Eastern, almost SkyMark, one has say hmmmnnnnn...
My name isn't Polyanna.
I was born on a day. But, that day didn't begin with yester.
If it isn't clear that the union, to this point, has worked for the company, one has not been paying attention.
It is a very fair question, why we have a union, when it is clear that we are paying dues for the honor of being crowd controlled.
So, feel free to conspiracy theorize.

Serious question...At this point, why would anyone not be a conspiracy theorist?
