A 787 / A350 technology narrowbody will make it's way to the marketplace eventually. That could be a game changer for the N. Atlantic market. It appears we don't have protections against this with Virgin Atlantic. What am I missing?

If they did that, under an EASK production balance methodology we currently have, we would have to pull down flying, no?

You guys selling the TA? It sounds more like a discussion among your fellow pilots ( I assume you are one) about the merits and issues with the possible TA. You just started posting and have 80 posts in about the last week or so that are mostly accusations. What's your story?

I saw this and it made me think. All of the Virgin Atlantic language is Widebody ASK's. Riddle me this Bar. What is stop Virgin Atlantic from purchasing A321NEO's or 737 Max and flying across the Atlantic from Manchester or any other UK city with our code on them?

Convenient way to pose the question. If you ask it like that, the literal answer is indeed "zero." The real question is "how many jobs would be associated" (with diminished share of JV flying). Stating that the slack is taken up elsewhere detracts from the reality of lost job opportunities directly attached to our level of JV participation. It's concerning to me that this particular question and answer seems to purposefully sidestep what's on our minds; the number of jobs tied to each unit measure of Delta pilots' participation in the JV. More jobs is better. Hoping to find replacement flying to a makeup for lost JV flying is no way to protect our pilot force. The twist in this Q & A feels reminiscent of the MD team salesmanship in the TA1 roadshows. Red flag!
