Uhlaziyo lwe-ATC / ukuVulelwa kweZibhakabhaka kwiDelta Airlines?

Kwiveki ephelileyo, i-CEO ye-Delta Air Lines, u-Ed Bastian, wenze iindaba ngexesha lenkampani yokufumana umvuzo ngokubhengeza ukuba i-Delta ijikile isikhundla sayo kuhlaziyo lolawulo lwezithuthi zomoya kwaye ngoku “isebenza ngokwakhayo” kumthetho weNdlu yase-US uMongameli uTrump awuxhasayo, ofana ngokusondeleyo noMoya. Imigaqo yohlaziyo yoLawulo lweZithuthi (i-ATC) uMongameli wayityikitya kumsitho we-White House kwinyanga ephelileyo. Ephendula umbuzo ovela kumhlalutyi waseWall Street u-Bastian wathi, “asingachasi ngokwentanda-bulumko kushishino lwabucala.”

Ngokunikwa iphulo elinoburhalarhume leDelta lokuphembelela ngokuchasene noSihlalo weKomiti yezoThutho yeNdlu uShuster ibhili efana kakhulu nohlaziyo lwe-ATC kunyaka ophelileyo, oku kwabamangalisa abaninzi. Okumangalisayo kukuba, njengoko u-Bastian wayesenza le ngxelo, abachasi bohlaziyo lwe-ATC babebiza igama le-Delta kwaye besebenzisa uphononongo lwayo lohlaziyo oluchasene ne-ATC ukusukela kulo nyaka uphelileyo njengesixhobo sokuphembelela ngokuchasene nomthetho oyilwayo iDelta ngoku esebenza ngokwakhayo.

Noko ke, abaninzi eWashington abazange bothuke. Kangangeenyanga, njengesithiyelo ekupheleni komgca wokuloba, iDelta ibijinga phambi koLawulo iqhekeza ebebecinga ukuba liya kuba mnandi kakhulu ukuba bangaxhathisa: iDelta iyakujikisa isikhundla sayo ngokuchasene nohlaziyo lwe-ATC kwaye ixhase eyona nto iphambili kaMongameli uTrump kwenqwelomoya. UKUBA uLawulo luvumile ukunceda iDelta kwindawo yokuqala ephambili, umba weGulf Carrier/Open Skies. Umbuzo ovulekileyo ngowokuba ingaba i-flip-flop ye-Delta ibonisa ukuba ifumene i-ATC yohlaziyo/i-Open Skies deal. Ixesha liza kuxela.

Kwenzeka njani ukuba iDelta ithathe isikhundla esiqinileyo ngokuchasene nomthetho kaSihlalo uShuster wohlaziyo lwe-ATC kulo nyaka uphelileyo ikhalaza ukuba iya kuyilahla i-ATC iphuculwe kwaye yenzakalise abathengi kodwa, kunyaka kamva iyamkele kwaye isebenze ngokwakhayo kuyo? Ukuba i-aviation i-advocacy ibingumdlalo we-Olimpiki, ngoko i-Delta yayiza kuphumelela ngokulula iMbasa yeGolide ejikeleze yonke indawo kwijimnastics ngenxa yobuchule bayo obumangalisayo. Endaweni yamazwi ayo, iDelta kufuneka igwetywe ngezenzo zayo.

Imizekelo yokungakhathalelwa ngokungenazintloni kwabasebenzi baseMelika iyaqaqamba.

Kwiphulo layo lokuphembelela umhlaba ngokuchasene ne-Open Skies, iDelta ibango lokuba yintshatsheli yemisebenzi yaseMelika. Amagama anomtsalane kwezopolitiko kodwa umntu kufuneka ajonge kuphela ukuthengwa kweenqwelomoya zakutsha nje zeDelta ukuze azibone zingenanto. Nge-13 kaJulayi, ngokuthanda okukhulu, iDelta yathatha i-Airbus 350-900 yayo yokuqala. Ingoyena mntu uphetheyo kuMntla Melika ukuthatha ukuhanjiswa kwale modeli ye-Airbus. I-Delta ixhalabele kakhulu ngemisebenzi yaseMelika, yajika i-Boeing kunye nabasebenzi be-aerospace base-US ngokukhetha i-Airbus kunye nabasebenzi baseYurophu endaweni yoko. Njengoko i-Aviation Daily iphawulwe kwibali layo eliphambili, i-Delta - kunye ne-American Airlines kunye ne-United Airlines ngokunjalo - ayiyalelanga isizukulwana esitsha se-Boeing 777X. Inkqubo ye-777X yakwazi ukusungula, kwaye iya kudala amakhulu amawaka emisebenzi yokuvelisa yaseMelika, ngenxa yenkxaso ethembekileyo evela kwi-Gulf Carriers Emirates, i-Etihad kunye neQatar ezithenge i-235 ye-306 777Xs ethengisiweyo.

Kodwa, ayingo-Airbus kunye nabasebenzi baseYurophu abaxhamlayo ekuthengeni iinqwelomoya zakutsha nje kweDelta. Ingumnxeba wakhe wokufumana umvuzo, uBastian ngebhongo ubhengeze eyokuqala yothotho lwe-75 yeBombardier C inqwelomoya yeCS100 iza kufika eNtwasahlobo ezayo kwaye isebenze kwimarike yaseNew York. Kwakhona, iDelta yajika imisebenzi yeBoeing kunye neyaseMelika. Abasebenzi be-aerospace baseKhanada ngokungathandabuzekiyo bachulumancile. Xa ebuzwa malunga nempikiswano yezenzo zorhwebo ezingalunganga phakathi kweBoeing kunye neBombardier eyavela ngenxa yesivumelwano sesithandwa esifunyenwe nguDelta, uBastian waphambuka esithi "makhe sibone ukuba ingxabano phakathi kwala maqela mabini idibana njani." Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo baninzi abasebenzi baseMelika - bobabini kumgca wendibano eBoeing nakwilizwe lonke lokubonelela ngeBoeing - abakholelwa ukuba bangamaqela kwaye banqwenela ukuba iDelta ibeke iMelika, hayi iCanada, kuqala.

I-Delta ikwathi iphulo layo elichasene ne-Open Skies kukukhusela imisebenzi yabasebenzi baseDelta. Ukuva iDelta ikuxelela kwividiyo yayo yemizuzu eli-15 ye-Open Skies yabasebenzi, iGulf Carriers sisoyikiso esikhoyo kubo nakwiintsapho zabo. Nangona kunjalo, iqela elilawulayo leDelta liyaqhubeka ukunika imisebenzi emininzi yeDelta kumahlakani eshishini langaphandle (JV) kunokuba lakha lalahleka kukhuphiswano lweGulf Carrier. Ekubeni ingeniso ye-JV yahlulwe ngokulinganayo, ayinamsebenzi kwi-Delta nokuba inqwelo-moya yayo esebenza ngabasebenzi bayo ibhabha kwiindlela okanye endaweni yoko inika amathuba okubhabha kwiinqwelomoya zeqabane langaphandle kunye nabasebenzi bazo bangaphandle.

I-Delta ifumana ingeniso yayo yahlulwa nangayiphi na indlela. Umzekelo, ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka iDelta yayeka ukubhabha iSeattle-London Heathrow. Endaweni yoko, yanika indlela eya JV iqabane Virgin Atlantic. Kwiphulo layo leGulf Carrier iDelta ithi inqwelomoya nganye yase-US ephulukene nomthuthi wangaphandle ixabisa i-1,500 yemisebenzi yaseMelika. Ingaba isigqibo seDelta sokunika iqabane layo langaphandle le ndlela saxabisa i-1,500 lemisebenzi yase-US? Ngexesha elizayo ukuyo nayiphi na i-hub ye-Delta yase-US, jonga malunga nenani elikhulu le-Delta JV ye-aircraft yeqabane apho kwaye uzibuze ukuba zingaphi ezo nqwelomoya ezinokuqhutywa yi-Delta, kunye ne-Delta crew, ukuba akunjalo kwi-JV yokwahlula ingeniso.

Kuloo vidiyo yeDelta, uBastian wenza isithembiso sokuba iDelta iya kuqala ukubhabha kwakhona iye eIndiya ukuba uLawulo lukaTrump luthathe isigqibo sokuyeka iSibhakabhaka esiVulekileyo kwaye sinqumle amaphiko eGulf Carriers. I-Delta ihlala ikhankanya inqwelomoya yayo erhoxisiweyo yaseAmsterdam-Mumbai njengengozi yokhuphiswano lweGulf Carrier. Ngaba aba bakhweli baseDelta base-US-India bavele banyamalala? Akunjalongo noko. I-Delta ibanike amaqabane angaphandle - i-Air France / KLM phezu kweParis kunye ne-JetAirways phezu kwe-Amsterdam. Ngokusekelwe kwibango layo kumcimbi weGulf Carrier, enye imisebenzi ye-1,500 yaseMelika ilahlekile ngenxa yesigqibo solawulo lweDelta.

Masithembe ukuba iTrump White House ayizange ithathe isiyeyelo sikaDelta. Kunyaka weSilivere seSilivere se-Open Skies, kufanele ukuba sibhiyozela iinzuzo ezinkulu eqhubeka ukuzinikezela kubathengi, uluntu kunye noqoqosho lwesizwe. Endaweni yoko, okubuhlungu kukuba, sinengxoxo-mpikiswano malunga nokuba lo mgaqo-nkqubo wenkonzo yomoya wamazwe ngamazwe we-bipartisan ophumelele kakhulu, oye wamelana novavanyo lwexesha, kufuneka uthatyathelwe indawo yinkqubo yokhuphiswano olulawulwayo njengomgaqo-nkqubo waseCanada weBlue Skies ukutyebisa ngakumbi iinqwelomoya ezintathu ze-oligopoly - Delta, I-American kunye ne-United - kunye nerekhodi yokubeka inzuzo.
