Interesting how Slide 9 says "reduction of capacity in underperforming Transatlantic markets, in conjunction with JV partners." I hope that doesn't mean they pick up the flying we drop. I just booked my One Great (Sky)Team tickets, and I was shocked how hard it was to get anywhere in Europe without flying on one of our partners. If the one or two Delta flights were full, I was left with pages and pages of AF/KLM connections through AMS and CDG.

I heard that they were gonna start up NRT-Pattaya with a spare 757, but only once per week creating a 140ish hour layover.

I'd try hard to be a good winner have have my lawyer pick up the proceeds.

Then I can be the one guy who actually follows up on his promise to quit if he wins the lotto, and you'd read all about me in "Gentleman's Recliner & Sofa Review Monthly".

In unrelated news, anyone know what the "potential scope violation" is all about?

And that bar that spins around like a merry go round. Had a co-pilot fall off and break his ankle back in the 141 days. Good times.

They can't "pick up the flying we drop". Although you might see routes shifted between the JV partners.

If we cut capacity, they cut capacity.
The JV partners sacrifice/rewards are shared over the Atlantic and can't be more than 3% out of balance...

Cheers
