How can our pay be industry leading without profit sharing. This is complete crap. Scott...keep dreaming you big goon. Give us more per hour pay, yet every year Delta still takes home more with the addition of profit sharing to the bottom line? Show me increased hourly pay and profit sharing and I'll show you industry leading pay.
Also, seems he is more then willing to fall back on the arbitrated JCBA agreement if we cant come to terms according to his remarks at the Morgan Stanley Conference this past week.
And the biggest concern (at least it should be to the bottom 75% of us) is the company's request for scope concessions.
I am an outsider looking in, but most of the legacies have profit sharing as part of their pay/benefits packages, why would AA decide to go against the grain ? If you want to attract top quality folks, you need to have similar programs in place

I wonder if the goal to eliminate profit sharing will be accomplished, me thinks "no". Too many arguments from a HR standpoint/etc to keep it.
AA was "on the right track" with the new turnaround, new image, morale re-building, I hope they don't muck it all up now
