Unfortunately, too many of us are comforted by the profit sharing check they believe captures the "wins" where we're ceding flying. Our individual share of JV partner profits is so diluted by the time that PS becomes take home pay (and 401k contributions), that it's nearly inconsequential. I'd obviously much rather Delta metal be flying more, and hope PS isn't pacifying the masses.
