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.
I agree and I hear what you are saying.
It is very frustrating to me that some of our leaders think they know better and want to disregard the ALPA survey. How do we fight that behavior?
Why would the DPA results be different? And if the DPA survey was fixed, why weren't the date of signing raises 50%? The DC 25%.
I firmly believe the ALPA survey is within 3% of the DPA surveys 98% wanting to keep or increase profit sharing.
You nailed it, reducing profit sharing no.matter how it is spun will result in self funding our hourly rate increases.
