Actually this is an attempt for AJ to rewrite the Long Haul EA.
His pitch at the New York Board meeting was one of reducing costs even pushing 457 visas.
He created a mechanism that bypasses the EA with the 787 introduction by planting specific clauses in the EA.
He now wants to build on that with the A350.
The CP confirmed this in his email that the future is in the A350 and B787.
Once the 744, 380 and eventually the 330 go so do the legacy conditions.
What price do you want to pay for that?
