If monetized dollar for dollar: 650M

That's a 28.8% pay increase day 1. If you keep profit sharing at 20% above 4.5 billion this is a cost neutral deal.

The original Question was:

Is this to much to ask?

NO!, its too Little!

Cost neutral is a 28.8% raise if we reset profit sharing to 4.5B

Ed Bastian could still say "cost neutral" and we would still participate in the upside.


Disclaimer:

That's just pay. We need to make gains. For every dollar value we give up we are a cost savings to management. Notice I said gains not the c word. I can't even use that word in this, the best negotiating environment in our history.
