The 80,000 might have something to say about losing PS during record profits. Well they wouldn't be losing it, it would be modified just like ours. As for having something to say about it, well no they do not. The company could, at any time, decide to stop profit sharing completely for the other employee groups. Management would then have more things to worry about so it will not happen. They might find nobody is listening and they need to find a voice for themselves. Last thing I would want is some small group of people speaking for me. Especially if their going to give up PS during record profits. Might be the final straw for some. Likewise I would not want to give up PS knowing other groups are going to keep it, if that's the case. On this we agree however I would be willing to place a bet that the other employee groups PS will change before the ink is dry on our new contract.

Many questions that need to be answered to the masses publicly to make and informed vote. This won't happen. One thing to consider among other things. However, this one thing affects many. As they say Delta airlines, 80,000 STRONG.
