Not exactly true.
We might have taken a big hit on the profit sharing for this year. Depends on the level of profits.

Read the fine print.
We still get the 15% this year but the 20% doesn't kick in until profits reach $2.5 billion.
It used to start at $1.5 billion in the previous contract.

It will be interesting to see how much we gave back with that item.
It will be REALLY interesting in 2013 when the 15% drops to 10%.
That little detail could cancel out our entire 4,8,3,3 "raise".

It's OK though. We brilliantly negotiated to work more hours each month to make up the loss.

True but the new TA profit sharing adjustments, for us, don't kick in until a year from Jan 13. We're still under the old arrangement. That is, our previous percentages apply this coming January. The TA PS kicks in Jan of 2014.

Fortunately you'll be displaced into a lower paying ac by then. All the reasons I voted NO are coming true. So predictable.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation, buzz!

Nope.

The raising of the trigger for 20% profit sharing came with the JCBA. Standalone Delta's trigger was 20% above $1.5 billion in PTIX, but Delta was only a $19 billion revenue as a standalone company in 2007. The increased profit sharing would have come when pretax income equaled about 8% of revenue. Adding in NWA's $13 billion in revenue changed that equation. Increasing the 20% trigger to $2.5B adjusted the profit sharing payout to the same ratio (about 8%) as we had pre-merger.

So it's not like you describe it at all.

I've personally made the 135 autopilot pop off while piloting the mighty Galaxy. Never heard a female boom scream breakaway like that before.

Slow;

Check's numbers are right out of the section 3 profit sharing tables. How is it not like he describes at all?
