We went from 15% to 10% as a percentage that's a 33% reduction. Sure Alpa's massages it to sound like only 5% but in reality we gave back a third or 33%. Now for real numbers. If next year the company makes 3 billion which sounds like it is a real possibility this "little 5%" reduction In profit sharing will cost the pilot group 125 million in lost profit sharing. Those are big numbers that were a concession.

Now for the RJ issue. I would have held to the point to let management keep those airplanes and enjoy trying to staff those airplanes. If the top paying regional airline's are canceling flights because of lack of crew's you think air line management had any choice other than upgague there fleets. My answer would be no, call there bluff, pilots should fly airplanes and leave the negotiations to the experts with insight from pilots.
