I don’t think there is some grand moral argument against newbies getting profit sharing, it’s just the way the program was designed. It’s not like you are really missing out all that much. You might not get a check this Feb, but your check will be bigger every Feb from here on out. Whether it balances out or not depends on UAL profits and how many are hired every year.
Just so the pilots on probation feel a little better, this years value will equate to roughly $1800/$100k in eligible earnings.
Thats based on the 2019 number corrected for 2022 pre-tax revenue. Based on a bigger employees force, it’ll be even less.
