You don't think they play with the numbers? Absolutely they do. Every time any of the unions are in contract talks, management hides money and profits. Lots of ways to do it. In the past, management used this to buy new ground equipment. See a new bag cart? We must be in contract talks. Those things are indestructible. I know, they try!

We all would be better off with higher pay, instead of profit sharing. Times are good right now, but they won't be for long. That extra check will go to zero real quick.
Jeez. How about higher pay rates AND we keep our profit sharing!! DAL came after their pilot's PS after altering it for all their non union employees. The DAL pilots smartly told them to pound sand. Let's not give away jack sheet.
