I can't do much to Lee with 50,000 mute pilots behind me, now can I? But he still works for me. And he'll do as he pleases until he causes 50,000 people to revolt. Which won't ever happen. So it's a mute point for debate, really.
The profit sharing as a part of pay is a pitance compared to where compensation should be. You bought off on the "total compensation" angle management, and
these guys sold. Ask FTB how the flight bennies "total compensation" part of things is working out lately. The outsourcing of Delta pilot captain jobs (where you actually get the kind of raise that makes a difference) is the type of buy off only undiscerning minds generally fall for. Sorry.
