If their PS is so high, they they screwed the pooch and failed to negotiate the contract they deserved. I’d much rather have more $ every month than gamble on a once a year payday. I’d also rather have our scope than their scope that you can drive a truck through.

I'm not sure you have a full grasp of their contract or scope. Or the concept of profit sharing. Or much of anything, really.
Delta mgmt would love to do as you suggest and trade profit sharing for pay rates. That transaction would last one negotiating cycle, and evaporate. Anyway, Ualpa and apa must have thought it was ok, since they matched the dalpa formula.
where do you think you’d be right now without Delta pilots standing firm and raising the bar significantly last year?
But you do you. Sounds like you have all the answers. Good luck.
