The beauty of stock grants vs stock options? If the company doesn't do well enough, many options expire worthless. With grants, you own the underlying stock regardless, it just might not be as valuable. Hell, work this into the retirement equation. Why just 10% DC? Why not 10% DC + 150sh stock grant.

I read just fine, thank you!

The flight attendants have a ME TOO clause pertaining to any stock plan we negotiate. Therefore we would be negotiating stock for 1300+ pilots AND a few thousand flight attendants. Gets a little more expensive at that point, and I'd rather see the gains on the pilot side.
