Troll or not, it's going to kind of suck when all of our pals at other majors are getting a big fat profit sharing check and we get nada.

Well, I'm expecting to see profit sharing as part of the contract.

Well, if you go by BBB's own words, "We're 1% of the traffic today. If we triple the size of the airline as we plan to do, we'll be 3% of the traffic. You tell me what percent of the traveling public cares about price above all else. I think it's a lot more than 3%. I don't know if it's 50%, 40%, maybe it's 80%. But it's way more than 3%. We have no demand problem when we have the lowest price." -WSJ
Will we grow to be more than 3% of the traffic in the US by the time our next contract is amendable? I certainly think so. Look at Ryanair and how much traffic they've got in Europe.
"RyanAir, EasyJet and other low-cost carriers make up nearly 20 percent of air traffic in Europe. Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant Air only make up around 4 percent of total air traffic in the U.S., but it's certainly growing." - WSBTV

The IPO argument, well, the argument against an IPO is damning for those who negotiated the last contract. The simple fact they didn't understand the IPO process says they know little of corporate economics.
I'm not relying on anybody, BUT the pilot group to tell the negotiators what to negotiate. What they bring to the pilot group is what we'll vote on. BUT, no one here is going to fall for the "this is the best we can get argument, better vote for it" again. Especially not in this current economic climate.

To be fair, you do get conflict bidding / line schedules. Every other major airline has switched to PBS and don't get to score on the month-month transition conflicts and vacation conflicts. That's one big thing you have that others don't.
