Because stating that PS was payment is a mischaracterization. PS was the stencil of a COME bet on the Crap Table. A simple statement that we all have given waaaaaay too much to the Church to go unfulfilled should the "Profit" ever make a come back.
We're all in this together brother.
Very well. Your problem with this argument, other than redundancy, is that you're getting wrapped up in defining what the PS is, and you're doing it in unflattering terms. In doing so, you're needlessly stepping on your own fleshy parts. You don't need to lecture us on what it is. We all know what it is. It's a contractual benefit, and it's ours. The exact value of is speculative, and left to individual discretion. Instead of railing against it, and insulting those who ascribe a higher value than yourself, you could ask more pertinent questions. For example, what is the total compensation we should expect, considering Delta's finances, and what proportion of it should be at-risk?
Inasmuch as I dislike your style of debate, the topic is thought-provoking. Provoke the thought, but for god's sake don't punch the thought in the face, nail it with a sledge-hammer, put a bullet it in it, and try to run it over, forward and backwards.
As deadhead pointed out, you're trying way too hard.
