1. I SPOKE TODAY TO DCA HONG KONG WHO (AFTER CONSULTING CPA) HAS NO CBJECTION TO ALLOWING GARUDA TO OPERATE DC13S OR B747S SEVEN
TIMES WEEKLY JKT-HKG.
2. DCA HONG KONG IS ALSO WILLING TO ALLOW GARUDA TO OPERATE DC8S
(OR DC12S OR B747S, BOTH AT DC8 CAPACITY) THREE TIMES WEEKLY ON POUTE DPS-HKG-TYO. IF POSSIBLE, HE WOULD WISH MATCHING AUTHORITY FOR CPA TO OPERATE B737S (OR L1311S OR B747S, BOTH AT B707 CAPACITY) THREE TIMES WEEKLY ON THE ROUTE HKG-KUL-JKT-PER:
BUT, SINCE HE CONSIDERS THAT NEITHER GARUDA NOR CPA WILL IN PRACTICE OPERATE B747S ON THESE ROUTES, HE WOULD BE PREPARED TO DROP THE CPA REQUIREMENT AS PART OF THE PRICE TO BE PAID FOR A
QUICK SETTLEMENT.
3. I HAVE ACCORDINGLY TELEPHONED COHEN IN JAKARTA WHO HAS ARRANGED FOR ME TO LUNCH WITH RISAKOTTA ON SATURDAY 10 NOVEMBER IN JAKARTA AND SIGN THE DRAFT CMU AND SIDE LETTER (SE H.K ALLOTS 79 AND 80).
4. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT OUR OVER-RIDING REQUIREMENT NOW IS TO GET CMU AND SIDE LETTERS SIGNED BEFORE THE RATS NIBBLE YET MORE AWAY. THE TEMPTATION TO CONSOLIDATE THE CMU AND SIDE LETTERS INTO A SINGLE CMU INVOLVES RISK THAT INDONESIANS MIGHT THEN TRY AND MAKE
THE GATWICK UNDERSTANDING APPLY TO BOTH TRUNK ROUTES: AAN ATTEMPT TO RE-DRAFT RISAKOTTA'S THIRD UNDERSTANDING TO GIVE CPA AN OPTION TO USE CAPACITY-RESTRICTED B747S ON THE PERTH ROUTE WOULD GIVE RISAKOTTA OPPORTUNITY TO REQUEST YET FURTHER MODIFICATIONS IN
INDONESIAN FAVOUR. UNLESS YOU INSTRUCT OTHERWISE, I THEREFORE
PROFOSE TO SIGN INDONESIAN DRAFTS WITHOUT FURTHER ARGUMENT.
