Ok, thought I’d resurrect this thread from the dead (page two).:). This question is directed at those predicting a smaller PS percentage than last year.
I just read a post on CC by one of our Reps that said the amount put aside in the PS pool thru 3 quarters is $175 million more than it was last year. If this is the case and with quarter four looking really good because of lower fuel costs, why should we not have a PS percentage at least similar to last year if not more? Denny |

What determines the percentage? Is it a set percentage based on profits?

It’s a dollar amount based on pre tax profits. The first 2.5 billion in profits we get 10%. After 2.5 billion we get 20%. The percentage is determined after the dollar amount is known. As we hire more pilots and wages have risen the percentage has dropped but the amount has been pretty consistent the last 5 years. This year will be the lowest percentage in 4 years or so.
Profit Sharing / Pilot Payroll = PS % The denominator continues to climb, exceeding the rate of growth of the numerator. Even though the amount of profit sharing is going up, wage growth has been tremendous. |
I’m a little embarrassed to see so many pilots so bad at math. 😝🤑

The other employees who are 60% of the pool are getting a substantial raise in PS. The company has to set more aside to cover that increase.
And it looks like they have.......at least according to a rep. I don’t know the actual numbers put aside between this year and last year thru the 3 quarters. Denny |
