Our profit sharing plan in our contract is based on an entire calendar year for the program. Plus it would have to be a WAG of some sort, like it was last time, because they can not know for certain what percentage of the entire payroll you will represent for the year. You could go big at the end or fly much less. Either affects how much you would be due.
