Common use of Schedules Publication Clause in Contracts

Schedules Publication. Delta, in its sole discretion, shall establish and publish all schedules for the Aircraft, including city-pairs served, frequencies, and timing of scheduled departures, subject to the reasonable operating constraints of Operator, taking into consideration the Aircraft type, maintenance requirements, crew scheduling and training requirements, aircraft rotation requirements, applicable route, and slot or other regulatory restrictions. So that the information can be properly disseminated to Operator for pilot and flight attendant staffing, and related operational requirements, Delta will, from time to time, notify Operator of the preliminary schedule times, frequencies and related information for the Aircraft no later than seventy-five (75) days prior to the first day of the month in which such schedule commences. Operator shall provide to Delta the proposed block times for the Aircraft, Aircraft performance analysis on operational items such as passenger and baggage limitations (together with relevant assumptions) and airfield appropriateness applicable to airports specified in Delta’s request for each of the city pair proposed by Delta no later than fourteen (14) days of Operator’s receipt of the preliminary schedule times provided by Delta. Notwithstanding the above, upon written notice to Operator, Delta may assume responsibility for establishing the Aircraft block times. Regardless of whether Delta or Operator establishes the Aircraft block times, such block times shall be based on a block time reliability rate of between *** and *** or the block time reliability rate used for scheduling Delta mainline service, whichever is greater. No later than forty (40) days prior to the commencement of such schedule, Delta will notify Operator of the final schedule times, frequencies and related information for the Aircraft. Where practical, Delta will collaborate with Operator to determine mutually optimal schedules. Delta and Operator shall meet by October 1st of each year to discuss an annual operating plan for the succeeding year with respect to the Aircraft, including Delta’s forecasted level of operations, block hours and cycles and the utilization of the Aircraft, and any other matters as Delta and Operator shall determine. Operator shall operate the Aircraft in the city pairs designated by Delta, subject to the frequency and other scheduling requirements established by Delta from time to time. In addition, it is agreed and understood that Delta may utilize and schedule any of the Aircraft to perform various charter operations on behalf of Delta as can be reasonably accommodated by Operator, including without limitation after taking into consideration Operator’s maintenance requirements for the Aircraft.
