I’ll probably look at any sub-15% profit sharing check as substandard for the rest of my career, but we know that those profits really were an anomaly.
Catch up wasn't my term...it was used by previous posters.
As I said before, I made about 175K in 2006 and in the 2009 as a 20 year pay 76 capt. Hard to save your way to what some seem to think all pilots should have after 10 years of post bankruptcy contracts trying to claw your way back. What does a 76 FO make in their 3rd year as a comparison?
Again...I am not asking for anything nor expecting anything, but I do think there is a group of pilots who under-estimate how damaging those 10 years were.
I'm sure someone has the payscales for those years. Hopefully they will post them so that more facts and less emotion prevail
