Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
DAL only flew 46% of the JV ASK's before AZ was added. AF/KL pilots wanted the AZ ASK's to be separated from their portion of the JV. D-ALPA successfully argued that it should come out of the "European side" of the JV, which entitled DAL pilots to even more flying than the original 46% that we were planned to grow above. The AF/KL pilots aren't necessarily happy with us since we limited their flying while trying to grow our own at their expense.

We Delta pilots are the victims in this game of labor arbitrage thanks to the purposeful negotiations of our "union." We take the hits in jobs while our JV partners get the increases. When we fly 46%, that means they fly 54%. Don't forget that.
I want to enforce scope here at Delta Shiznit. I didn't want the RAH scope abuse negotiated into our C2012 instead of grieved. I didn't want our minimum departure requirement in NRT negotiated away. I don't want to negotiate away this AF/KLM non-compliance. But we have, and we will. It's what our "union" does.

I can also assure you that when we go to the arbitrator the company is going to try and mitigate any potential award in several ways. They will state they did not anticipate the economic meltdown in Europe. They will state they did not plan on multiple wars and revolutions forcing route drops and will further add that the aircraft were redeployed to the Pacific and South America so no jobs were lost.
I personally don't think that mitigates the contract but the company will bring all that up. The shortfall is also simply not that great and I have confirmed the posted charts do not reflect a shift in the numbers from the airfrance strike. Personally I would argue from the union perspective that the AF strike was not anticipated in the contract and should not count but the company will argue otherwise.

Ok, so you think the company will just roll over in arbitration! Again I can and will assure that's not going to happen!
