Reading RA's statement on DLnet, concerning distribution of PS, it seems like he is saying it would be crazy for a group to give up PS in exchange for a raise.

Yes, spend more time with your family.

That can't be, we have been assured by this forum over and over again that the company is coming after profit sharing big time!

There's more than one "AMT" this year.

Watch out especially if your spouse works. The "additional medicare tax" under Obamacare could bite hard because Delta only withheld the tax based on one income.
If you look at your 12/31/14 pay stub it appears as "Med Surtax" on amounts over $200k.

I owed $50 bucks in AMT for tax year 2013 with total income just a bit north of 190K, so that's a pretty good wag for where it kicks in.

ALPA has a vested interest in increasing pilot compensation, whether it be through wages or PS. 1.9% is 1.9%.

Yet that's exactly what we did in C2012. We pilots voted to give up part of our profit sharing in exchange for a raise. Crazy, isn't it.

What about RA's statement would lead you to the contrary? RA is simply poking us in the eye early by telling us we're crazy for giving up part of our profit sharing to fund pay raises...again. He already knows it's a given. Labor risk is completely off the table here.

I was just under $190K for 2014 and I got hit for $88 AMT. I use turbotax FWIW. I googled it and didn't feel like reading a whole lot into it but I saw somewhere that it kicks in @ $175K

Just for the curious or bored, the PAS (Pilot Activity Statement) part of DeltaNet now shows a whole lot more data than it used to. Shows your D0, A14 percentages. And you can compare them to others in your category, base, etc.

Oh, and you can do that with pay - all types, including sick time.
