I am proudly voting yes but with reservations.
I believe you just answered your own question.
What happens when the company can not afford these 20% raises?
Then when negotiating a future TA it will not have 20% pay raises. but what does that have to do with our present TA?
Now what? Profit sharing wont matter cause will headed towards BK.
Just the opposite. Profit sharing matters even more. If we go into BK again (very doubtful, but definitely possible) PS will go to zero and we will take massive pay cuts.
The difference is the PS will automatically return with profits. It is 14 years after 9-11 and pay has still not caught up. Now which one do you want?
Finally, the industry has totally evolved since 9-11. We are making record profits in a down economy - don't be stuck in the past.
