I was under the impression that the pilots profit sharing was changed to match what they already offered the other employees so while I agree it funded the COLA's I don't believe the other groups gave up anything, they were already at this percentage post merger.

I believe it went something like this: Pilots had negotiated 15% profit sharing so company gave rest of employees 15%. Company forsee's making over $2.5 billion while in negotiations with pilots on new contract. 5 percent of profit sharing monetized into pay so company can lower profit sharing to 10% (up to $2.5 billion) for pilots and rest of company employees.

I am pretty sure the company announced the cut in profit sharing to the rest of the employees prior to the contract being voted on, but I'm not sure. The whole thing in my opinion had to do with the board of directors. They wanted to or needed to pay back investors. In order to accomplish this they shrank profit sharing to 10%, secured a contract with pilots, agreed to terrible stock buyback, and did everything possible to show 4 quarters of profit. This all helped get us on the S&P 500 and investors were able to cash out on a higher stock price. Probably all thought up and hatched by advisers from Deloitte.

Duplicate. It means the same rotation number is being used for both crewmembers but the A & B rotations aren't the same (assuming a two pilot trip). If you pull up the trip in iCrew you should see two separate rotations each with only one crewmember assigned. Pretty common lately with the self-induced staffing crisis.

Not saying you are wrong, but I recall our contract vote closing and a few days later the announcement of the profit sharing cut for all employees (along with announcing a raise for them). I know a few non-pilot employees and I recall telling them to watch out, we cut profit sharing and the company will try to come get theirs. Of course they spun it as "monitization."
They cut the other groups PS before we voted. Pretty arrogant if you ask me. I guess they knew it would pass...

Not disagreeing with this but does anybody see any irony here:
Airlines, pilots oppose higher federal fees on tickets
But airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association, a union representing 50,000 pilots, are already lobbying against including the anticipated fee. Airlines argued that their passengers shouldn't be charged the immigration fee that doesn't apply to train and bus passengers.
"Congress cannot continue to solve its spending problems on the backs of airline passengers," said Nicholas Calio, CEO of Airlines for America. "The government must stop using airlines and their passengers as its own personal ATM whenever it needs more money."
ALPA also issued a statement Thursday saying the group "strongly opposes this fee hike and urges Congress to stop using U.S. airlines and passengers as a bottomless piggy bank."
