To answer your question, meaningful profit sharing has been around for a small portion of my career (hence my resistance to going backwards). And like many pilots, I cannot explain every line item on my paycheck or statement. When a pay question arises, I need to do a little digging.

Maybe it hasn't changed from "day one," but some of us need a little help figuring it out. In my view, one thing changed this year. We received the JV scope settlement. I know why PS isn't paid on it: because the PS formula is written in a fashion that does not provide for it. Nonetheless, it's counterintuitive that a payment for lost wage earning opportunities is excluded from profit sharing.

I am "familiar" but not an expert. Again, info provided here is appreciated.

No offense, but I find this statement to be very disturbing. How do you know that you are getting paid properly? Who is making sure it's right? The company? If you trust them with paying you properly, why not trust them with following the contract?

I may not know everything in the contract, but I absolutely know where every penny on my paycheck came from or went to. Call me paranoid, but I don't trust the company with my money. YMMV.
