The article that I read on Deltanet was talking about the American FA's and their unhappiness with a lack of profit sharing that our employees have. My takeaway was it was a not-too-thinly-disguised reminder to our FA's that they shouldn't even think about voting in a union. I couldn't tell if it was a pep rally or a threat, but the message was the same.

Some guys on here have taken that as a shot across our bow which is way premature. Even if the world does evolve around pilots, I don't think that article was meant for us.

And to all the "No" voters out there without having seen a shred of real contract language from C2015: anything is for sale, it all comes down to price. If they want to bake the value of the profit sharing into our payrates, I have no problem with that - provided the premium is significant.

The math for C2012 is also easy to do. The part above $2.5B DID NOT CHANGE (although most of us probably never ever thought we'd see profits at that level.) The only part that was monetized was the first $2.5B reduction from 15 to 10%. The math has been widely shown here and is equal to roughly 2% every year whether we make a profit or not.

Yes Wall Street hates profit sharing (only when there is a profit) and no that shouldn't surprise anyone.
