1. The entire JB forum could gladly tell you I'm no company man.

2. Talking myself into crappy profit sharing formulas? Your argument against me could and should be leveled against nearly all the major airline pilots in the industry, or at a minimum their negotiating committees. What you describe as "crappy", would apply to most existing profit sharing plans at our peer airlines, so you're really just saying you know better than all the negotiating committees who negotiated those contracts. That's not just a little arrogant... And it's even more rich from a guy a few months into his NK career, who does not have, and never has had a profit sharing plan at your airline. So keep on telling us how much more you know than the committees who negotiated those plans, and the pilots who have been cashing those checks. They'd love to know how crappy they are and how much better you could have done...

3. As long as we're talking about profit sharing, you were just telling me on the other board how JB pilots can't have profit sharing because JB is a "growth" company and that the plan wouldn't pay anyway because of the accounting methods available to growth companies. Well, JB is only ~23 years old, has been a growth company it's entire existence, and for much of that existence it did IN FACT have a profit sharing plan, and there were several years where the checks were quite large. So, what that means, is I don't have to wonder if you have a clue, you've already proved beyond any reasonable doubt that you do not.
