I expect you, Oberon, sailingfun, shiznit, et all to do the same if DALPA brings us a TA with reduced profit sharing or some other unforeseen concession.
Just to clarify, you're opposed to any concessions. Is that correct?

I'm still struggling to explain this because my English is not very good, but, I do not mind DALPA talking about exchanging PS for pay. I don't. What I want to know is what is the exchange rate of $1 likely PS dollar vs a guaranteed dollar? Because there is no way the company will agree to a 1:1.
We're gambling either way, we should be given all the info when this TA drops to make as good a bet as we can IF they do indeed want to trade PS for GM (guaranteed money).

I don't have a question but I do want to ask you guys something. I was once on the NC at another airline but I left after my helicopter got shot down by an RPG during Hurricane Katrina... damn you Brian Williams, you were the only one at NBC I liked.
Anyways, doesn't the MEC dictate to the NC what to do? If there is 1 guy that wants to trade PS for GM, what's wrong with hearing about it now in full? Why wait until an entire TA is negotiated and dropped in our laps with a sales pitch and a demand to sign it or face the consequences?

GZSG,
Believe it or not, I am complete agreement with you and Purple with regards to certain reps who want to reduce profit sharing. I have ZERO doubt that there is an active campaign rightly or wrongly, to reduce the amount of profit sharing...
That being said, because somebody had a different opinion is it really necessary to call them "whiney and pathetic?"

First they attack me for telling the truth because they want the line pilots in the dark. Like they did with CDOs.
They after its true, they make excuses and empty threats to force us into voting yes.
If we reducing profit sharing, Sailing will be selling it hard as a win. Like he invented it.

For me the problem is that pilots like this speak from both sides of their mouth.

On a unrelated note to the profit sharing hysteria does anyone have the UAL 757 payrate. Americans rate is 7% above our rate. The general employee raise on 1 APR should trigger a comparison of our 757 rate to the average of UAL and American. We may be due a small raise 1 APR and will for sure be due a raise next APR if we have not completed the contract and the company awards a annual raise. We are at 226 now and AMR is 242. If the average of UAL and AMR is more then 226 we are due a raise as I read the contract.

We may have caught a lucky break with this flight attendant union vote. They are in "status quo" and their profit sharing cannot be taken like last time. If we were to reduce, it would cause a stuff storm with the FAs.
