Our PWA sets the pool size. We get a proportion of that pool based on our wages compared to all other groups wages. The entire PWA pool is not given to the pilots. When the non-cons have the same calculation, the get the same %, and the rest of “our” pool.
I do think that pretty much everyone in this thread is saying essentially the same thing. The pilot pool for profit sharing is proportional to the pilots share of total wages.
At any rate, my guess is that we are looking at 11% +/- 1%. 13% might be in the cards if Q4 is an un-forecasted blowout far exceeding current guidance, but I’m not holding my breath. Hoping to be wrong.
