United still has profit sharing very similar to us. Maybe that will help us. We are a whole different airline than American. Hell, they still have 3 seniority lists. We should easily be able to make their hourly rates and keep profit sharing. I agree that th signs point to monetizing profit sharing again though.

Don't forget to subtract ALPA dues from your profit sharing.

All these "elder statesmen" captains we have refer to us as Copilots as if they were still flying their bombers or tankers. If they were a single seat person then sometimes they ignore you completely. Funny when you're PM and you do the preflight checks and then watch the Capt do the same exact preflight checks. I tested the radar and the PWS went off. We laughed about it. Not 2 min later he checked the radar and it went off again. I laughed even harder.

Would being referred to as Co-captain or Co-commander be better?

And don't forget to add the 15% we get added to our DPSP from the profit sharing payout. If it was a "bonus", we wouldn't have to pay dues, but we wouldn't get the 15% DPSP. I view that as a good thing. How do you view it?
