BTW United got the similar profit sharing language to delta now. Not going to be too funny when narrow body captains are collecting $100k profit sharing checks everywhere but here.
It was just the first survey. There will be more. Pay rates are usually some of the last things finalized I believe, so we will all have plenty of time to adjust our expectations. For me, it might not matter much, as my survey response was already well above Delta, as it should be. But if United goes above Delta by much, and Delta's snap up goes above that, the we can all readjust on the following surveys.
Agree on the profit sharing, everyone in our peer set already has profit sharing, and those plans are only getting better. In many cases it will be an extra two MONTHS of pay in some years, possibly more.
