264 * 1.27 = 335
219* 1.29 = 282
In order to get us the same compensation we need a 19% raise. So we are behind. Is it 40%? No. Not at united anyway.
I'm not sure if you are really this stupid, or have an agenda. Our profit sharing compared to United is a function of how much higher our profit margin is. We have a much higher profit margin than they do. A given years profit sharing percentage cannot and should not be used to compare total compensation. In fact, since our profit margin is so much higher, it is criminal that our hourly wage is soo much lower.
Furthermore, how does your overly-simplistic and inappropriate comparison account for our sub-standard work rules, vacation, sick bank, hotels, healthcare???
Please elaborate?
