How are the checks we got years ago, which were from the profits of the company, not dividends, not relevant? We were a growth company then (even more so) and we are a growth company now. So you guys can stop trying to tell us a properly written plan won't pay out since we're a growth company, we've already seen that it does pay out.
You can have your list of priorities, I have mine. You fill out your surveys, I'll fill out mine. The MECs, NCs and pilot surveys, and pilot votes will drive this process. While something being industry standard or normally found in peer CBA's isn't everything, it is something. Profit sharing is in every peer (in our peer set) CBA/company policy, including our current one. Pure ZERO TDZ is only found at NK. While I have no problem keeping it, I'm not sure I like the odds. But maybe. I do think it's highly unlikely we see a JCBA without profit sharing plan improvements. I'm sorry that triggers you.
As a data point, my previous regional also had DTZ. I regularly dropped my reserve and picked up in and out of base since I was a commuter. It’s not just an NK thing. How we go about DTZ is unique to NK, but DTZ is not totally foreign amongst other carriers
