According to Jerry the deal is already done! Give me a 14% raise today and I am all over it to end the profit sharing.
You were here in 1999 when Delta was generating similar margins and everyone said it was a fundamental change in the industry and profits were here to stay. At the current margins capacity will start coming back into the industry with expansion and new entrants.
