As long as we're not flying XX amount of airplanes for another carrier, NWA can't reduce us below 124 planes (which is where we are now). I think (I'd have to check) that number is 25 planes for another carrier. We're currently contracted for 16 planes, so NWA can't reduce the number of planes on their side under the current ASA. Now, if Delta exercises the options for the other planes in THEIR contract, then we start getting into the reduction clause. And it is based on a ratio. Even then there's a floor to the number of planes NWA can reduce us to. |
Kell,
I thought the 17 CRJs that are being transferred are being subtracted from the 124. 2 were never delivered to 9E - 1 went straight to XJ and 1 went to XJ via Compass. And of the other 15, the first was moved from 9E to XJ in November, and I thought that was supposed to continue at 2 per month through mid-year.
