I get what you’re saying, but to complain about paying for parking and wanting to look like your peers while you just pocketed 25k in profit sharing is not a good argument for it. Your peers at American that are getting less than 2% profit sharing would likely gladly trade their paid parking for your profit sharing. United got 2.8% I think. Your friends at Delta would probably love a zero cost insurance option. Not to mention that a regional feeder/scope and pbs comes with their paid parking at every one of the big three.

My priorities for the next contract cycle are on making the company pay big time if they are going to treat us as online reserves, and to pay even more if they are going to cut one minute into my scheduled time off. That’s going to have a much bigger impact on my QOL and income than paid parking will (not that I don’t want that too). LTD a big must do as well.

This company is far from perfect, but can’t we just enjoy one thing it does well (profit sharing) without complaining?
