Am I reading too much into it? Or is it truly a clause that looks great at first blush, but is really toothless when you fully analyze the fine print?
If it's the second choice, then I am really getting very weary from all of the escape clause loopholes that the Company has built into the TA (and more importantly, escape clause loopholes that ALPA has permitted to be built in)

To be clear, TA15 uses profit sharing as part of your compensation when comparing to other airlines. So, if implemented 3.b.4 is not going to garner any raises during the comparison.
C12, if it remains in effect, could/should be good for about a 3% raise due to 3.B.4.
Iow, voting for TA15 is a vote to not receive the 3.B.4 raise.
