Of course ALPA is responsible. Without caving in during BK and good old "constructive engagement" keeping our pay far lower than it should be, there would be less profits to share. Some people are sooooo ungrateful. :rolleyes:

I'm sure it is back 10-12 pages somewhere but is the profiting sharing check also combined with our mid-month paycheck?

Well said Carl. You get it.

for anyone getting ready for mad dog school, no 90 differences on the systems eval

a 9 with an fms, moving map and better trips. is it a dream or am i going to be flying the same 9 trips in 12-18 after they get rid of the "classic"?

Right on! That's why we shouldn't pay taxes, either! Let the Air Force find some other way to buy airplanes. And don't get me started on the cost of ammo in Afghanistan! And Medicare? Put Grandma out on the ice floe when she loses her teeth.

I need that money at my house. My kid's iPhone is nearly 2 frickin' years old! Besides, all ALPA will do with it is negotiate more profit sharing that I'll have to pay dues on. The only reason ALPA negotiates more income for me is so they can dues it!

Yup. No way to cut any waste because the gub'ment and ALPA have no waste. They are lean, mean governing machines. :rolleyes:

Save your rant for the political thread. This topic has nothing to do with taxes. Did ALPA negotiate the FA's profit sharing? Gate agents? Ground Service?

Can you even see the rest of this thread from over in left field??

For Alpa to insinuate (however much in jest that it was) that the proceeds from the profit sharing checks would be used to purchase a boat (Captains) or a big screen TV (FO's) is insulting to me.

If anyone didn't get around to tell ALPA, those days are long gone and I will be using the profit sharing check to actually put food on my table. How about that?

But I guess they needed my $130 dollars more than I did, right?

Which came first...the ALPA profit sharing plan or the Delta non-contract plan (same w/ merger equity and bankruptcy equity claim, too).:rolleyes: obtw, did you notice that not all FA's and Agents got the same profit sharing you did...because of what their bargaining agent negotiated? You might want to reread what DennyCrane wrote.
