Understood.
But, as has been pointed out, changing the PS formula for all employees might be tough to do. Getting a DC on top of the PS (Delta match at 18% DC) is comparably much easier. Ensure you get the pattern bargaining Delta match as a minimum. You guys have a lot of nuggets to get a Delta match on.
Somebody alluded to this before, but here is a link to an article by a Delta pilot/author. If anyone wants to take their negotiations seriously, it's worth a six minute read....just in case you get a phone poll....
