Yet another reason for ALPA to push for REVENUE sharing rather than profit sharing. Profit is amenable to accounting gimmicks. Revenue is pretty definite. And it’s not without precedent. States do it all the time with sales tax. They don’t give a rats rear if you are selling items with a tremendous markup or at a loss, they get their fixed percentage.

Regardless, the revenue sharing is a fun thought as it would probably be a nice work around for eliminating the FAs "me too" they have for "profit sharing" in their contract. They failed to get their 5 hour min duty "me too" because ours was "tied to PBS."

Nothing flawed about it. It works fine for 48 states and the. District of Columbia. The fact you feel it is “flawed” doesn’t make it flawed. You are entitled to your opinion, but it’s no more than your opinion. You aren’t the universal arbiter of flawed and unflawed.

Ex cargo troll is like that crazy boomer uncle at the family Christmas dinner who claims the moon landing was fake and that Obama is the anti-christ, so everyone just kind of nods in agreement just to get him to shut the F up and go take his nap.

This management has fought with supernatural ferocity to keep us from taxing their profit (simple profit sharing plan) which would only be due when the company is healthy and making a profit, and you think they will let you tax their revenue and pay us whether times are good or catastrophic?!?
All the reasons you think it's a good idea make it a non-starter for them. And their is NO precedent in the airline business, not even close.
When it comes to contract negotiation matters, I'm far from a defeatist but on this one you're nuts.

Is the airline a government entity? Which airlines have allowed labor to tax their revenue?

Flown both, you're crazy to think the 190 is a much nicer airplane? The steering tiller sucks, the "ram horn" yoke is odd at best, too much artificial feedback, no where to store your roller bag. Extremely loud cabin noise above 280knts, these are just a few of the gripes with that plane.
