Personally I like PS like it is. If our hourly rates appear to be less than AA's, meh. I'll take that nice pay bump in the first quarter of the year and get that 401k working faster, and perhaps a little less each month. Yup. TVM. It's real. But if the group wants to monetize it and smoke AA's hourly rates, I am fine with that too. But I do not think the PS should be monetized in section 6. Get our rates for the contract solidified, THEN come back and talk about PS.
Profit sharing should not count versus AA pay rates, if the company wants to do that then you need to tack on the AA guys keeping their retirement to their pay rates. We paid for that profit sharing no need to pay for it again.
