My point is that we have a very senior pilot group with the majority approaching retirement age. That is going to flavor the next couple of contracts. And pay % may not be at the top of everyones wish list. And I doubt those approaching retirement are going to want to drag out negotiations for many years entertaining unreasonable contract demands from the just say NO crowd.
So yes, the time value of money is more important the older you are I would say.

Does the language in our contract, regarding PS, effect the PS of all delta employees?

You make the point that the profit sharing check is getting pretty sizable. Well that's because A. the company is making a ton of money and B. we negotiated it and the company turned around and gave it to the rest of the employees. I don't fault them for that. If they hadn't then there very well may have been more unions on property now. They want to correct that and they could unilaterally change, not get rid of, the profit sharing for all but the 13,000 pilots that paid for it. I'm not advocating for that as I like coming to work with happy people and that would surely make an us against them mentality. How do you think that would go and how much would that save the company?
The really funny thing is that evey year, when the PS checks come out, I have an FA ask "Do you guys get PS too?"

Damn. And I was so happy about 80s 763 rumor that I felt like a hungry pilot next in line at Dickeys with a brand new slab of brisket being pulled out just for me.....
Or maybe we should threaten to unionize?
