Should be interesting then. The “rumors” I’ve heard is the pilot group cost more than double what we were forecasted to cost. How much that impacts the bottom line, I don’t know.

Shutdown cost us 200 million, no idea how much IROPs cost us, but it wasn't nothing. I'll be happy if proven wrong, but I doubt we see 10%.

I flew with a FO recently that said “our contract is costing the company too much money.”

Ok. So what? Is the company still making money? “But our profit sharing will be down?”

Ok. So what? Our wages are up. This company is still making BILLIONS of dollars.

Profit sharing is profit sharing. A contract is a contract. ALPA and the company agreed to the contract. Our wages as a group aren’t that big of a deal. Saying we (or our contract) are too expensive is disingenuous at best.

A lot of the inefficiencies at this company can be traced back to technology, or lack thereof.

By “technology”, I think you actually mean leadership? Investment decisions?

?.???????!!!!!

Who talks like this? What does he want pay cuts?

I rather have a bigger paycheck than PS. Considering also that PS has a higher tax bill than regular wages.

The more I make, the less I work. The less I work, the more time I have to live.

This is a pretty common misconception. Bonuses have a flat rate for tax withholding from your paycheck. However, when you do your taxes at the end of the year the bonus is treated as normal income. It's withheld at a flat 22% up to 1 million. People in lower tax brackets will get a refund and people in higher tax brackets will most likely owe more depending on how they have their withholding setup.

Please don’t spread this wrong information. Profit sharing and other supplemental income is WITHHELD at a higher rate, but is TAXED as ordinary income when you file your taxes at the end of the year on all your earned income.

So crazy people every year post this nonsense.

It’s not too late to delete this post! Don’t be part of spreading misinformation about taxes…
