Not once have I advocated for flying aircraft into markets, just because.
I'll say it again: obviously flying across the Atlantic is reduced.
Delta pilots are shouldering more cuts than AFKLM/AZ pilots.
I don't think that's right.
Apparently you're fine with that.
Cheers

I got 47.29% by March 31, 2012, with numbers from Sam and Desi (Codeshare commitee)
Since March 31 2012 Delta has cut more European destinations:
ATL Paris: cut one of three daily flights
ATL Barcelona: cut
ATL Milan: cut
JFK Prague: cut
JFK Rome: cut
JFK Athens cut
In the same time, AF reduced twice daily service from Paris to Dulles to one A380...and KLM cancelled MIA Amsterdam.
It's not really rocket science to see how we would be below the 47.x% at this point unless AFKLM/AZ makes massive cuts to match. None have been announced.

Now will you answer the questions I posed about your slides. I see you want to talk about anything else, but you promised to answer my questions.
- Why did you assume a staffing ratio of less than 3 crews per aircraft when you made your DPA talking points slides? We have no aircraft that are staffed that low, in fact you are about 50% low. The company's actual plan is 5.5 for MD-90 and 7.0 for 717. How did you come up with those numbers? Was it based on some analysis or did you just shoot low to deceive people?
- Why did you assume that reserve flying would increase by 80% from winter to summer? The actual shift in total flying is 13% and the historical difference in reserve flying is about 1.5%. How did you come up with 80%? Was it based on any analysis you did or did you just fudge the numbers to deceive people with your DPA slides?
I am really interested, because you created these slides, that are all based on false analysis. They were widely spread by DPA. Did you even attempt to provide the truth, or were you just trying to scare people into voting no?
I await your reply, you promised.

Not sure how off subject this might be, but we have all been focused with a merger down the line domestically, but what are the chances that we may be possibly looking to merger with a foreign carrier?
Not sure what type of regulatory hoops both companies would need to jump through, and I'm not even sure if it is even feasible.

So which pilots would get to do the flying?

More importantly. What in the TA dutifully protects us or binds DAL to commit its pilots to performing any flying?
Also does our labor law transcend boarders? Can you make that happen in a CBA/PWA, or does it have to be regulatory and not just with the US government?
Being foreign carriers could make RJ whipsaw look like child's play.

I've read them. My point is that our PWA and US labor law only dutifly bind DAL, not a foreign entity. Our labor law cannot be used for foreign pilots.
I do wonder if it can be used by a foreign holding company that DAL has a majority, or majority minority stake in. I do understand the foreign ownership percentage triggering mechanisms in place in the PWA, but there still seems to be some latitude there.
