The only things that effect your payout are:
1. PTIX
2. your personal eligible wages
3. the eligible wages of all employees in the pilot plan or the ground/fa plan.
Because PTIX calculations exclude profit sharing expenses, how much they give the non-cons doesn’t change anything.
The item that was discussed here and is frequently misunderstood is that the wages of the non-cons does have an effect.
To make an example, assume a calculated pool of $1 billion with pilot wages 60% of the total, and non con wages 40%. With the plans being the same, non cons will get $400 million, and pilots get $600 million. If the company cut the value of the non con plan in half, pilots would still get $600 million, non cons would get $200 million, and the other $200 million would not be distributed.
