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.
I don't mind if they count profit sharing as long as they count full restoration of our defined benefit pensions and paper bidding with trips touching vacation.
You and management love to cherry pick what benefits them and disregards the fact that our concessions are no longer necessary.
