Things getting testy at Air France..
So what else is new right?? They've always had their labor issues, strikes, slowdowns, etc, but thought this was pretty funny...imagine if that happened here.

So is this also a reason for the proposed change from EASK's to Block Hours in the concessionary TA? Don't know exactly how this all plays out but maybe RA and Co. saw this downscale coming and wanted to prepare... to change the JV language from EASK's to block hours. Anyone want to tackle this conspiracy?

Until you change the metric again and reset the compliance number. Pilot block hours or aircraft block hours? They still fly more 3 and 4 man trips with larger gauge equipment. If we exceed the tops side are you concerned? We just announced more Rome out of MSP.

While correct on the trend, the rate and quantity of change is difficult to predict since there are so many variables which affect execution on the EU side.
Block Hours should not be confused with Pilot Block Hours.
The part of the puzzle which may not be obvious from our side of the Atlantic is the rapid and aggressive expansion of Ryanair and other EU LCC. While the ME3 are eating their lunch on premium transoceanic, the LCC are making a "dog's breakfast" of their feed.
We have to remain alert for the one market they have that still sort-of functions ... the US.
