So far on this trip we have carried 403 pax (full) on every leg, DTW-NRT-MNL-NRT. I guess I will see in a few hours how the NRT-DTW is......

I spoke to DALPA today about this. I was told that the company's obligation is to SLOWLY ramp down the ALV. In other words, it will not drop back to normal in one month. The person at the other end of the phone said that the company was :17 minutes above what they should, but that DALPA wasn't going to make a mountain out of a molehill. At least, that's how I thought it was portrayed to me.

As a north guy I hope that DALPA learns we have a contract and DAL management needs to abide by it. Whether it's 17 minutes or 16 airplanes it's time to hold management to what has been agreed upon!

I believe it stands for "Average Line Value", but I'm still learning the new terms so hopefully a DeltaSouth guy will chime in.

You are correct. It is an involved process of ALV per month and TLV for the year.

That's GREAT NEWS! International being full is very positive.
