You can't expect pilots to at least be somewhat leery of what we'll be asked to give up in C2015 given DALPA's support of funding a contractual raise through a reduction in profit sharing and/or the line of logics that requires the group to surrender something for a menial gain.
From this line guy's perspective...ANY reduction in profit sharing is a no go item for me. Won't even need to look at pay raises. Negotiating away profit sharing at a time when the company is making record profits defeats the very purpose of us negotiating profit sharing into the contract. Profit sharing was the incentivized carrot used to rally this companys' employees together to bring it back from the brink of insolvency.
If the company offered to increase it in return for less pay would you be interested?
