They are the biggest numbers, but still HALF of the margins that DAL was earning when C2K was negotiated.

If DAL Inc. starts hitting $3.6 billion a year in profits without increasing the size of the company, the PS pool would be roughly $470 mill, and the pilot share would then be $178.6m, or about $14,880 per pilot (averaged).

If DAL continues to be ahead of the game and making smart moves, I can see that level of profit right about the time we are in C2015 negotiations, and when companies are making big money they sign better contracts with their pilots.......
