Have to agree here. Public Napkin math time (with made up hypothetical numbers)
If profit sharing payout to, say, 17,000 pilots is from a pool of $500m:
If the average pay of pilots is $200,000/yr, the average payout is about $29,411, or 14.7%
If the average pay of pilots is $300,000/yr, the average payout is about $29,411, or 9.8%
The percentage varies substantially more if the number of pilots also changed.
