At least we can quantify that slap in the face from management.
The one we really need to watch out for is the other thing OFG mentioned:
Management's proposal to take some part of their compensation right from the top of the profit sharing amount. Whether they call it their "bonuses" or "stock grants" or whatever. They will find a way to define most of their pay so it comes right out of our pockets. They will define everybody except the janitor as part of the "executive" group who gets their pay backed out of the PS calculation.
Does anyone have any doubt about the people running this company?
If we allow them to pay themselves first and take that money out of our profit sharing this management team will screw us every which way but Sunday. Look how far they went out of their way to shaft the pilots when they gave the other employees their big raise in December instead of January just to get around Section 3.B.4 of our contract.
This is the classic "loophole" big enough to fly a 747 through.
We can kiss most of our profit sharing goodbye if we allow this.
If the MEC falls for such an obvious ploy then they all need to be recalled.
This thing allowing management to pay themselves out of our profit sharing has ALPA National "lawyering" written all over it.
That always means the pilots lose.
