[QUOTE=Sixty N Two;3578060]I believe it means after someone explained the math to him and he realized our formula for PS is less lucrative than Delta’s but won’t acknowledge that so throws out a generic statement about how we can’t change everything to match Delta’s language, which of course we aren’t saying here, just saying that Delta’s PS is better because it is based of hard dollars vs ours being based of a percent of profit margin which the company can finagle with costs[/QUOTE]
I don’t think this part is right. They have to use the same percentages as what they publish publicly in the SEC filings. I don’t think they want to intentionally reduce the profit margins they present to shareholders just to avoid paying pilots a few extra shekels.
That said, Delta’s formula is better the larger the companies get and since both companies want to grow, Delta’s advantage on this item will only grow.
