Nope but I think they bring just as much to the table as a flight attendant does.

Look, I get that the F/As have a “me too clause” but would giving them “the face of the airline” a few grand in profit sharing be so bad? Mgmt played them brilliantly, they made the F/As give up something for a “Me too” clause that mgmt knew they would throw in our faces come negotiations. The icing on the cake for mgmt? The Pilots blaming the F/As for lack of PS, lol.

It ISNT THE F/As keeping us from Profit sharing, its MANAGEMENT

You believe the "Me too clause" doesn't add to their resistance to profit sharing?? Come on. I believe its a big reason and perhaps why management agreed to it in their contract. It makes it much more expensive (difficult) for us to get it

Only under 1.E which is aquisition of said carrier and keeping them separate.

No worries at all. Delta receives their profit sharing checks today I believe. Happy Valentines Day to those guys, huh?

And even if they got it too, it can’t be that much money considering the pennies they make anyway.

Exactly. I thought a performance bonus would do it but I have heard there isn't much we can do to get around it. Of course I don't know how its written or the legalities of it...

There isn't much we can do? We could vote NO and demand it.
