There is of course a difference between advocating for a given position, and trying to shape opinion based on conspiracies and rumors.

Is there an echo in here? Are 80 and Sink like AV8 and Treehugger?

According to the pilot contract:
$0 to $2.5 billion 10.0%
Over $2.5 billion 20.0%
And if I do math right we get
$2.5B x 10% = 250M
(4.5B - 2.5B) x 20% = 400M
250 + 400 = 650M
So why on the press releases does it say that $1.1B was set aside for PS?

Entirely possible. Whereas I used think "what a collection of old farts" in the ATL lounge, now I find myself wondering which of these young (deleted, not flattering) is 80, and which is ftb. Haven't seen a Delta pilot wearing the cone of shame yet.
I did fly on Bar's aircraft, once.

"Delta announced profit sharing last week with a preliminary estimate of 16.4 percent. The airline has now received the final data, resulting in an actual payout of 16.58 percent, which means that even after the 5 percent advance in October, the Feb. 13 payout will be well in excess of last year’s 8.26 percent."

My apology if this has already been considered, however:
>How many other labor groups (F/As, MTX, etc) have any profit share simply due to a "me too" clause? i.e. they are getting profit share, because the pilots have negotiated it, and if the pilots fore go P/S in the future, would they lose their slice of P/S?
>IF we pilots do away with our P/S, would all those other "me too" groups subsequently lose their P/S?
>In other words, if there are other labor groups piggy backing off our negotiators heavy lifting, why don't we give P/S back to the company, let the company save those $ that they have to give to those said groups, and make the company pay dearly for us saving them money?
Just askin'...

I'm not sure exactly what issues the company has with sick time but I'm guessing a spike in sick time right before it resets raises eyebrows. I haven't seen any stats on this but human nature you know...
If sick leave was left unchanged except it reset on our date of hire instead of June 1 would that be palatable? In theory that would spread sick leave more evenly throughout the year and maybe the company would be less interested in cracking down on sick leave abuse. A potential downside is less required staffing but I'm guessing May isn't the month they staff for anyway.

In corporate America Delta would win the award for coming up with a sick policy that encourages the absolute most amount of abuse possible. I've worked under 3 different sick policies in my career and the current one we have has got to be the dumbest plan ever that a management team has come up with.
Give us a bank option so we don't lose the time we have accrued, and give us the option of selling back a portion over a threshold and you will see sick time fall right in line with all the other pilot groups in the industry.

...then bring lots of tissues, sanitizing products, and other futile protections to work.
Maybe there is a reason we use more than other carriers: they incentivize flying sick, and we don't.
