The problem with the "monetizing profit sharing" approach is that DALPA doesn't provide that dataset to the pilot group to consider during ratification. I've been curious as to what our actual pay raise percentages came out to during C2012 in retrospect considering the reduction from 15% to 10% of the first threshold.
The way to do it is a two step process. First negotiate the pay rates, and then negotiate the premium % above the new rates for giving up PS.
So, 4-8-3-3 or whatever pay and then at a minimum 20% above that for the PS.
