A couple other exceptions may apply outside of FLT PAY And FLT ADV as provided in Section 3 .I in the PWA

Now take your 2013 profit sharing check and multiply X .667 to see 2014 profit sharing check if we had the same profit.

I don't do public math...so what are you saying because I voted no...

Sky miles awarded via means other then flights have to be purchased from Delta. Amex has to buy the miles awarded.

It means you're getting a healthy check for this past year...and not as healthy next year. Regardless of how you voted.

Math help?

$372 million in PS for the 2012 year.

15% of profits go the employee share.

That means the number used to calculate the profit is $2.48 billion?

The Company 'reported' $1.6 billion?

I'm getting frustrated constantly being proven right over and over why I voted no. I was really hoping to be proven wrong!

I recently used some old Sky Miles built up over the years. 40,000 miles for a Domestic RT in Y. If someone's spending $40,000/year on their Amex for a single coach ticket, all the more power to them.

And yet being proven right it is a burden you endure so gracefully. Props to you, my modest APC brother; props to you.

What this suggests to me (and I'm often proven wrong) is a slight shift in Delta's leverage in the relationship with AMEX. Bastian's comments on this topic were -almost- clear that the relationship was -still - a big deal. Still.

Must be hard being so wise.

I love the rampant negativity on this forum. Your going to get a multi thousand dollar check in a few weeks and all you can find is the downside.

Try this for a diversion from your pessimism: calculate how many diapers can your profit sharing check buy?
