I made around $1100 through the pilot profit sharing program for the first six months of 2015 which was on top of the $3600 I made through the company wide profit sharing program. While our payrates could be higher, that's still an extra $4700 (minus taxes) that hit my bank account with which I can waste on hookers and blow. I'd recommend unplugging from the forums for about 3 months and focusing more on your family and friends because you're living up to your screen name too well. And yes, that's Dr. bender talking.
