As long as you don't care, I don't care. Point being they don't have to call it Profit Sharing. In fact they could call it "Vacation" or "Sick Bank" or they might even call it "Pay Scale" or any of a myriad things a PWA encompasses should it ever be replaced.
Ceptin' that as long as management deigns to pay you PS you have no recourse. YOU didn't negotiate it, you get it whether you want it or not. Granted you might want it because your management has been reliably producing a profit for more than a decade. And since its been coming as reliably as it has your management considers it compensation, and now so do you. I think Delta Pilots should lead by their own example not follow yours. And I know several LUV "A"'s that are tired of it too.
Calling me a liar didn't work, the facts support my assertion it isn't a negotiated part of your PWA. Only a guaranteed equivalent is.
