Yet another reason for ALPA to push for REVENUE sharing rather than profit sharing. Profit is amenable to accounting gimmicks. Revenue is pretty definite. And it’s not without precedent. States do it all the time with sales tax. They don’t give a rats rear if you are selling items with a tremendous markup or at a loss, they get their fixed percentage.
