Just the fact that there is a CUT to our profit sharing tells me the Company has figured out they are going to be making a boat-load of money, soon. That's why THEY wanted to get us locked into this low end deal ASAP, before the earnings numbers started going up, up, up. Can you imagine if we were in negotiations next summer, and they were forcasting $2Billion in profit for 2013?

BTW, I'll have to go look it up, but think there is a tigger in our current profit sharing formula, that gives us a -much bigger- piece of the pie, when earnings go over $1Billion, which would explain why they wanted that 35% reduction, NOW.
