You're not making any sense. They should bother, because we have made it a priority in several negotiations sessions. Several negotiations sessions/MOUs/LOAs/contract extensions were drawn out and we achieved other gains, because management refused to give us the profit sharing plan back. The question is, why did they fight so hard to keep something from us that is "worthless" (paraphrasing)? Why go through all the extra work and give up gains to the pilots IN LIEU OF SOMETHING WORTHLESS? Why not simply give us the worthless thing???

Why did AA and UAL pilots make profit sharing improvements a pillar of their recent/current negotiations? I mean, if it's worthless (can just be accounting tricked away) then why bother?

Why did Delta literally make it a written pillar of their negotiations? Don't they know it's just gonna be accounting tricked away?

As for revenue sharing, I've said my piece on that. But bringing up regional code sharing business structure as an example of how revenue sharing has been given to pilots, give me a break.
