Well, legal language is exactly that, and I read the contract on the PS. With as little wording on the way the PS is put aside and allocated, I think that there is very little wiggle room on this. The non-cons get, specifically 10% up to 2.5b and 20% over previous year. I think Delta made this language deliberately to allow false inferences that they'll get 10% of the gray area from 2.5b to the previous year threshold. Of course, when the time comes and they are in an uproar, it'll be too late for them. Our PWA, however, specifically states that 20% over 2.5b of PTIX with no stipulation on other groups. That would mean that the 20% of PTIX goes to the only qualifying group. Why wouldn't DALPA lawyers get the scent of this and run with it? It is, at very least, a bargaining tool/weapon! Our 1.9% pays for that, right? Also, to encourage the DALPA and ALPA team, they should know that 1.9% of that gray area $$ will go to them. Bottom line, I'd rather pay good money for a divorce attorney than wait until I have to pay little money for the defense attorney when they find the body.
