I’m sure PS is great. I want PS in the JCBA;
you deserve to have it back. You can believe me or not, but it’s true. This time around, my personal line in the sand was 20% at my payband. They exceeded it; barely. For the JCBA PS will be a line in the sand for me. Right now, though, 20% moves buying a house, for example, up a couple years. I can’t afford a no vote with an absolutely unknown timeline for another opportunity at a solid raise before the JCBA.
If you think we are getting profit sharing once we have merged with a group of self described "discount pilots" I've got a bridge to sell you.
People fund years of retirement, down payments on investment properties, yachts and planes in cash from just ONE YEAR of profit sharing at DAL. $50,000 checks were cut. It has ZERO to do with size and everything to do with profit created per pilot. At the same time as DAL was cutting $50,000 PS checks to its pilots, jetblue was buying back enough stock to write a $500,000 check to each pilot just to put it into perspective. Our management is greedy, they dont value your contributions, and thats why they fight PS when they probably wouldnt need to pay it for years while we merge. Just remember that when thry ask you to go above for them. Any extra revenue or profit your extra work generates goes to them, and they wont share a penny with you.
Im obviously a hard no, but our group is willingly ignorant about how badly we are trailing and this will pass. If we gave away scope for free this crap samdwich is gonna be a slam dunk.
