Would you give up hotels on the overnights? No? Not even for ONE MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR?!?!?!?!

There is no way the company is going to try and roll back or eliminate profit sharing just so they can give us the same or more. If they move to do this (and it seems highly likely they will try) they will be attempting to save money, one way or the other. Why else would they want to do it?

Does anyone really think we're going to get full value immortal "locked in" raises, in addition to whatever other raises we were going to get, and they will survive a 6-10B per year swing that wipes out all profits and even puts us into the red? Why would the company want that over the current system?

If we touch PS it needs to be a separate issue so we can see what we're truly going to get for it. Yet I bet they won't be interested in that in the first place. The real value in trading away PS is in moving so many things around that our "big raise" helps pay for itself.
