Understood, and fully endorsed. I assumed that the profit sharing was based on your base salary and hours flown and not necessarily a hard percentage of whatever you pulled down with extra time and soft pay you took advantage of. Bravo if there are guys getting significantly more than the quoted number. I'm always all for pilots getting paid more.

FWIW, I've had many very good interactions with West guys, and some very bad ones. Clearly, some of them are just arseholes, regardless of what happened to their careers.

Nope it's all inclusive. I think it would start opening too many can of worms if we went by "hours flown". What about reserves flying once a month? What if you have a transition course and were away from the line for 6 weeks with no "hours flown". Easiest way was just say the PS pool this year is X based on the contract and the company SEC filings. Total pilot compensation was Y. Divide them out and say "Every pilot gets Z% of the pay". This year for UAL is was just over 13%. DAL did significantly better financially and I think I read they got around 21%?

If you couldn't generate a good life, especially in PHX, on what you were paid that's your own fault. You want to blame someone, look in the mirror. You will be miserable no matter what.

I averaged about 90ish hours a month of credit at 777 FO pay.

Face it, Am West was a second to third tier carrier. Back in 2004-2005 they called me and sent me a letter asking me to update my application because I hadn't updated since 1999-2000. You don't see any of the legacy carrier doing that do you.
You (idiots) have the golden ticket and now are acting like spoiled brats.

So same as ours. I meant all inclusive as in all our flight pay as well.

Faining hurt doesn't help your cause.
