Well above my knowledge but looking at some airports around the country it’s hard for me to believe that the government cares about competition.

Having a hard time understanding the profit sharing formula, without the cliff. Anyone on here care to describe it in layman’s term as to what will trigger some $.

I understand that first, a profit needs to be made.

10% of JB profits get distributed to employees as profit sharing.

JBLU makes $235mil profit for the year. $23.5mil goes to profit sharing pool. How do they split that $23.5mil? They take the total eligible wages from all employees and divide to find a %.

Eligible wages were $900mil. $23.5m/$900m = 2.6%

Each employee gets 2.6% of their annual eligible wages as profit sharing

I will add to Flyby since you asked about the "trigger". The new trigger for pilots getting something is a reported annual profit.

…then the big guy will get his cut, then the union will take their 1.85% of the pretax amount…they need those corvette payments too…then you get yours. IOW, you might get a car payment if you’re lucky.

Wait, I'm looking at the List of Things to Complain About, and under Profit Sharing, right after #1. The Cliff, I see #2. The Formula and then #3. The Company's Inability to Make a Profit. Are we skipping those and going straight to #4. Taxes and Union Dues?

Which is the same at Delta and United and SWA. You don't need to complain just for the sake of complaining.

You seem to be upset that profit sharing is treated like any other income. What exactly did you expect?
