I could care less about profit sharing, really. What is astounding is that these crappy overall paybumps had to be funded by the reduction in the profit sharing. If the paybumps were, say, 20% by Jan 1 and another 10% in 2014, then that would be both more believable and more on the road to industry leading.
Got it...real numbers don't matter. But I get your point.
That's neat and all. The payraises should have been 85%, 30% and 30%. Because we're worth it. Your 20%/10% is just weak. A sellout. It doesn't get us anywhere close to what a 1990 pilot made plus inflation.
And the TA won't keep you off the widebodies. Leaving flying at DCI won't help you get to the widebodies either.
