These numbers are refering to the number of flights operated and not block hours. Because the average delta flight is much greater than the average ASA/Comair flight, the two are not equal...while ASA/Comair combine for 37% of the flights (in number) the percentage in block hours is much much less. When i asked, I too was given a number that was very low..(about 6% was the # I got for ASA)InclusiveScope said:I don't know what DB said, but I do still have my notes from Skip's last state of the company meeting. As of Sept. '03 here is the breakdown on Delta flying:
45% DAL
20% CMR
17% ASA
10% SKYW
4% ACA
4% CHQ
ASA and CMR were already at 37% of Delta flying over a year ago. So as you can see, 25% of Delta flying is not a gain for us as we already do considerably more than that.
Also, here is a quote from the TA....: 25% of flying of all of Delta Air Lines Inc. flying must be accomplished by ASA and Comair as long as both are wholly owned affiliates...so that should help clear up the original question...in short, if the TA passes, it will help protect growth at ASA/Comair as well as stimulate growth. That is not to say that Chakaka and SKW wont get some of the pie too, but they aren't protected...in other words, if Delta goes above the 50%, ASA/Comair cannot be reduced below 25%, CHQ and Skywest would have to be reduced.
