OK, I'm sure someone will chime in with a UPS $5B profit, but the real question: what is each of these airline's cumulative debt since 9/11?

Nice work to the CAL employees on a record quarter for the company. Question about profit sharing: How much does one typically get out of a great quarter like that, and does it vary depending on years of service with the company or position? Just curious.

 

Last time it was a five digit bonus given out on Valentines Day.

 

Come on. Five digit as in $XXX.XX or $XXXXX.XX ? Ha ha.

 

$XX,XXX.XX and it's based on your yearly income.

 

I'm looking at around 15-18K. 756CA.

 

after seeing cals profit for the past couple years...they should be nicely rewarded.

 

Great news! Things starting to look upwards. Now the real question is how much can they afford to lose to increased employee wages.

 

yep ...all those nice profits arent worth much in the long run if its all wiped out by high fuel and higher wages. But I do think we will see wage movement in all sectors as long as the requests are reasonable. While I understand those who have taken HUGE cuts wanting to get it all back.... what good would that do if simply puts the carrier back in a break even or in the red situation. FWIW....in my opinion a few percent increase is not reasonable, 5-10 percent across the board plus annual raises which at exceed COLA by a percent over the contract is what I think can be expected. Anything more and I believe EXTREME resistance from management. these are my general thoughts across the industry by the way....nothing carrier specific. I think we all would like to see the legacys get all of their concessions back, but realistically I dont see it happening.

 

Oct 23rd we announce our results. I don't think it will be $5B though. I believe last qtr was $1.1B profit.

Congrats to the employees of the airlines that you posted, their hard work and givebacks are evident in the profitable bottom-lines.
