I think the standard for a brand new poster is a bit higher, shiznit, and it probably should be. This is one of the last civilized places for internet conversations. We have some wildly divergent views, but somehow have kept it together for well over 100K posts. There is a sort of unwritten etiquette to this place, including building a tad bit of credibility before you go controversial, making sure your "conversations" are mostly two-way, and not constantly keying the mike with the same content.
I've backed people's anonymity on here no matter who they are, but he chose to ride in on his reputation, and his previous postings don't exactly match APC's pattern of grudging good humor between enemies, and outright friendship by others. We've got a bunch of ugly puppies on here, but we all manage to feed from the same underboob, with an acceptable amount of fuss.
Except for Timbo, of course. What a tool!

Also look at Solitude up Big Cottonwood..they give Delta discounts with ID..basically full day ticket for half day price. Great diversity of terrain from groomers to back bowl, away from Sundance, has a Kyle alpine village at the base but I don't know how expensive..great snow and best local secret around.
Have fun..

Everybody knows Park City gets the best snow!!!
First, there is only one "t" ...
Also, please don't make us read about your miniature bubba tool anymore! ... And never, ever post (or even think of posting) pics of your undertool!
Finally, looks like Juno didn't deliver what was promised or hoped ... Hmm, interesting ...

And for that, Juno delivered.

You still have a little make-up, right there.

I missed the infraction worthy posts too. Sounds like a case of thin skin by those casting stones. Handing out infractions and hiding behind "the computer banned him, not me" is a pretty weak minded position. That said:
Profit sharing IS a concession. It gives management degrees of freedom to dork things up with fewer consequences (read, dollars) allocated to the pilot payroll line. Refinery, anyone? Sometimes the bet pays off and the pilots get some scratch. Sometimes the bet does not pay off, and the pilots realize they would have rather had management-proof monetization of said profit sharing. W-2 is king. Give it to me with as few variables as possible. Mitigate management risk.
Profit sharing should be per capita. A guy shouldn't have to move to base and give his life away to bring home the bank from effective corporate management. If I fly my line according to the contract, I contributed just as much as a guy who has no non-flying life or, through no fault of his own, is senior and never met a green slip he didn't like. One could argue a guy flying at straight pay contributes more to corporate profitability than a green slipper. One could argue that--and they'd be right 100% of the time.
Nurse your wounded feelings Mr. Infraction Hander-outer. The Joker has this one right. In fact, one would be wise to ponder a few of his other points. If you don't like the delivery, be high-minded and consider the message. That's what thinkers do...
The foregoing is my opinion (too). Hopefully this post won't be banned for non-compliance to Clamp-think.

One thing you forget in your discussion is the company maintains that green slips save them money and add to corporate profits. Without them the company would probably have to hire 2000 more pilots which would dilute the profit sharing for everyone and reduce the profit itself.
No, of course not.
As for PS being paid off W2 and not "per capita" as you and someone else pointed out... the money earned from GS is valuable to the company, otherwise they wouldn't of put the trip out via GS. I would say that the company is plenty happy to pay PS on GS pay - it might of saved them a cancellation or delay that would of cost them even more money.
