What happened over those 80 years? The economy grew, standards changed, the industry changed... JB pilots don't have to slog it through 80 years of crap to get a contract on par with theirs. That's a total management-enabling fallacy. JB pilots provide the same narrowbody service and product as DL/UA and achieve similar success, therefore their compensation should be similar.

Bud, you're WAY smarter than that unfortunate comment.

I clearly said AA had a much better FORMULA than JB. AA's low payout is a function of their low profit margin, not a poorly designed formula.

AA's formula with JB's profit margin would be a much better payout.

Don't get me wrong, AA's plan is still quite sub-par.

If JB had AA's plan, which appears to be 5% of pre-tax pool, but no cliff, a JB pilot earning 200k would have received a profit sharing check for the 2019 FY of approximately $4,800.

That's still well below JB's peers, but a whole lot more than $500.

And they achieved the plan outside of negotiations, and during one of the bestest economies ever.
