Our profit sharing is pretty well locked up. There is nothing the company can do to reduce our profit sharing check other than not make money. Alpa actually learned from past profit sharing mistakes. Fortunately when this language was negotiated, the company was losing it's ass. The joke was on us for wanting profit sharing from a bankrupt company. This allowed us to write really strong language. I have also heard from pilots that the early October payout was to reduce the profits for the year. That is a false statement.
