Not enough for you, ok, I can buy that, but don't pretend your making more by giving up a 14% pay rate increase to keep 5% more profit sharing. It's simple math.
Dude! Even a dumbass like me can see that if we give up PS for a pay rate, come the next contract we will be matched against United and American. Thus your 14% model is only valid for 3 years. So you are willing to give up 30years of profit sharing for one 3 year bump? It's not rocket surgery. Or are you one of those guys that doesn't give a crap about all the other folks that will follow in your footsteps? Grow a pair and stand up for your profession. No offense
