Again, only you are saying that. RA will account for profit sharing exposure by calculating it via his
predictions on what corporate profits
might be. Any executive team would do that. The issue is that those predictions won't fly with the NMB as being properly costed out. In fact, if management attempted to do that, it would open the door for DALPA to demand costing via predictions. Neither side wants to set that precedent in these or any other Section 6. The best course of action for management to take is to get pilots to voluntarily give up all or part of their profit sharing. Which is exactly why we're seeing this multi-pronged approach to demean profit sharing in the eyes of pilots.

This melodrama doesn't add to clarity. The NMB would simply tell Delta management that a non-costed item can't be the only remaining item prior to impasse. If management persisted, the NMB would label them as bargaining in bad faith.
