Most employees worldwide are eligible for the Delta Profit Sharing Plan. Officers, managing directors, directors and general managers (grade 11) are not eligible for the profit sharing plan. Neither are contractors, student workers such as co-ops and interns, and Delta Community Credit Union employees. Finally, employees based in countries or territories that have government-mandated or collectively bargained profit sharing programs are not eligible for the Delta Profit Sharing Plan.
I think that we are covered under collectively bargained profit sharing. Therefore, my interpretation is we probably won't participate.
orvil,
On second thought, this language only addresses who is "eligible" for the Delta Profit Sharing Plan. We already know with 100% certainty that pilots are "eligible." It's written in our contract.
The above language
doesn't address who is "eligible" as it relates to the timing of the early profit sharing, only whether you get it or not at all. The only question is, as Ragtop Day alluded to, is whether our contract overrides the company's decision to make an early payment. My guess is probably not.
