Help me out here. In both the DPA and ALPA contract surveys over 90% of the Delta pilots want to keep or increase our profit sharing.

Why are reps in the crew room initiating conversation about reducing it?

To me it looks like they are going to disregard us and do another end around.

Am I wrong??

Would you give up hotels on the overnights? No? Not even for ONE MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR?!?!?!?! :rolleyes:

There is no way the company is going to try and roll back or eliminate profit sharing just so they can give us the same or more. If they move to do this (and it seems highly likely they will try) they will be attempting to save money, one way or the other. Why else would they want to do it?



Does anyone really think we're going to get full value immortal "locked in" raises, in addition to whatever other raises we were going to get, and they will survive a 6-10B per year swing that wipes out all profits and even puts us into the red? Why would the company want that over the current system?

If we touch PS it needs to be a separate issue so we can see what we're truly going to get for it. Yet I bet they won't be interested in that in the first place. The real value in trading away PS is in moving so many things around that our "big raise" helps pay for itself.

I suspect the companies desires on profit sharing are not yet even formulated. That process will start on Monday after the American pilot ratification results are posted.

I need to call the ATL CA rep and get his story. He is on a trip at the moment but the last time I talked with him it sure did not match what you are saying. Who you talked to at the some sort of meet and greet would be much more informative. You can PM it to me if you don't want to post it. I assume you have the name because if I heard a ALPA rep making those kinds of statements or trial balloons I would damn sure have gotten their names and taken things to a higher level. They are not supposed to be floating anything.

So I'm in the Atlanta crew room and I guess there's a bit of a alpa meet and greet and verbatim I hear: "so we ask guys, so how much of your W2 do you want tied to variable income?"

And then an emphatic explanation of why raise is better using the %s from C12 and jokingly said we've established it's for sale just how much. I was just listening in. Amused.

My point is this selling PS is much more than Internet fodder.

I did not see the FO rep. I guess I could identify them looking at pics but then again... Older white guy doesn't narrow it down much.

I dumped my bag over by the circular tables and was headed back to get it and go on. I was there long enough to catch that the conversation was about PS, so then I stayed for a minute or two and went on.
