KLM is indeed losing negotiating power

If the information about only 25 % earning on V class tickets above is correct, which I doubt, it is a clear indication that KLM has lost it completely and AF is ruling earlier than expected....

KLM has to understand that there business model always relied on offering cheap tickets and convenient connections, mostly to intercontinental destinations and that in the last 10 years the Flying Dutchman programm was a great additional tool to use.

If they really think they can get away with it , they are more stupid than expected and will face consequences sooner than expected...

Once again, so far no info is really confirmed, so speculation is always welcome, but not very accurate...
