If I'm not mistaken we get approx. 1/3 of the PS. Does this mean this reduction paid for roughly 6% of the raise as the company was able to reduce PS to other employee groups?
DALPA decided that 15 percent of 2.5 billion in pretax profits was worth about 6 percent of your earnings for a profit sharinf check. They took 1/3 of that away leaving you with 4 percent for the first 2.5 billion in pretax profits. Equal to 2 percent of pay. It was a good move, but it helped hide that our contract was nowhere near what anyone was expecting.
