You have your right to gripes about profit sharing, but the continued repetition of untruths related to the amount of profit sharing is ridiculous.
As has been stated many times by many people, the CAL pilot group getting profit sharing did not change the amount of the UAL pilot group profit sharing PERIOD. Profit sharing was calculated as if every employee was getting it. The result was the number...it wasn't going to change. Now, if we didn't get it, the total value of that money for the CAL pilot group would have been returned to company coffers, not to the other employees. Us being excluded was not going to bump up your profit sharing amount (i.e the same total pool divided by fewer people). That's not how the profit sharing plan works. WE didn't harm your bottom line in regards to profit sharing and we didn't take a cent from you or any other work group, CAL or UAL.
Now, if you have concerns about the way it was calculated under a merged profit sharing scenario in the combined company that is a different issue that needs to be taken up with management. If you feel your share of the profits should have been bigger that is a separate issue and is not really related to a particular work group but rather all work groups.
