On the other hand, if you can bank some time your first year you can get it back at second year pay. It is a guaranteed 30-40% ROI in less than 12 months. There isn't a better investment out there. Same principle applies if you are upgrading to captain.

You did not answer my question. Are you talking about the percentage of profit sharing that was monetized in C2012? If so, then what I was saying is the monetized amount of profit sharing from C2012 is already known and it is 2%. It would never be more than 2 percent and could be less. We received that 2 percent as part of the 8 percent we got on January 1 of a couple years ago.
