Yes, I think most guys want to keep their PS. The DPA survey probably suffers from self-selection bias, and the ALPA survey is probably more nuanced than you say, but it's plausible that the overwhelming majority would NOT want their PS touched.

That being said, even though you can't tie our feelings about the PS, to your accusations and speculations, it's still entirely possible that some guys on the MEC do think it's a good idea to monetize the PS. I think it's a bad idea. That was a part of C2012 that people were most upset about, and that was during a time when the PS hadn't quite shown its' full potential. We've earned that PS, and the investment is paying off. Bad, bad idea to tinker with it.

First off - we shouldn't touch PS. But if for some reason we must ( I can't think of a reason) monetizing PS must be seperated from section 6 otherwise we are "buying" our raise.
