I don't know about you guys, but getting such a small piece of our pie (4.85%) back, once a year, when we gave up 42%, plus our DB money, just ****es me off, more than makes me want to celebrate.
Kind of a painful reminder of exactly how much we gave away.
Sure it's better than getting zilch, no doubt, but still...it would be nice to have that little 'extra' every month.
I'm sure Ed won't be getting any sleep tonight though...

Agreed. Talked to a FO buddy of mine at Emirates the other day. His tax free profit sharing check for 2011 was 28K!!! I was floored they got that much!
He is a fifth year FO going to the left seat of the 777.
