There have however been no discussions with the company on profit sharing or about a early contract opening contrary to your posts.



How do we do that with the above not being counted as a raise?

I am solidly with Jerry on this one. When we were exiting BK, DALPA lauded the profit sharing - so why ditch it with record profits coming in?

Use common sense and remember our management is always one step ahead of us - if the company wants us to monetize our PS what does that tell you?

Initially I was very skeptical of PS but I trusted DALPA and they were correct - it was/is a good deal.

The industry has indeed changed - we are making record profits with a lackluster economy - when has this ever happened before?

I know that there is a risk with PS but I for one am willing to accept this risk over the risk of monetizing PS and that counting as our raise.

If we do pull in around 12% PS this year I think keeping PS will be high on everyone's survey.
Too bad we will not have the final numbers until after the survey is closed.
