I know....bizarre request, huh?

Call it PROFIT S-H-A-R-I-N-G. Not Guaranteed Pay. How about my union worrying about negotiating the COSTS of what the company needs to pay the pilot group. Not the at risk profit sharing (which is not a COST). I'm not an accountant, but my understanding is that if profits go up (thus Profit Sharing goes up), it's not resulting in greater costs for the company. Therefore, that's not a valid excuse as to why they can't match American.
How come my union didn't bring up getting pay rate increases for "at risk compensation" before 2012, like say at the merger? OH, only when it's something someone else wants? Heck, I see their point of view--I kind of like those dollars too. So how about we leave that alone and work on the improving the rates that need work instead of chipping away at the part of the contract we're very pleased with? I know, I know....I don't understand how the system works.

, and they have had MANY other close calls. (This time they weren't so lucky, or were lucky that nobody was injured/killed.)P.S. One of these times, these hooligans are actually going to succeed at hurting someone, either in the air or on the ground.

In any case, mamangement squeezes every ounce of productivity to the point of skirting the contract. And now they're coming after us for alleged sick "abuse" that they don't bother trying to prove. Not a good way to produce employees who want to go "above and beyond."
