Earnings statements are now available on DeltaNet. I just checked mine and the gross PS payout was 6.52% of FLT PAY + FLT ADV.

Fed taxes were 25%; and GA taxes were 6%.
FICA, ALPA dues, and DPMA were pulled out at their normal rates too.

Still nothing on the "Pending ACH" at the Delta CU though.

My profit sharing check was about the same size as my regional's yearly Christmas bonus (also a profit sharing check technically).

Thanks for sharing. Why'd you leave?

I thought we were supposed to get DC Plan, DPSP contributions for this as well. There is none on the pay statement. I had a total of 33% deducted from check.

Call me cheap, but I don't see why ALPA needs to take dues out.

I would think that 2% of my salary would be enough, but I guess it's not.

You will. If I remember mine correctly, you should have received a letter about profit sharing at your home address from Steve Dickson detailing that the DC/401K contributions would be made on the 15th paycheck.

I'm not cheap. ALPA does not deserve any of the profit sharing checks. $137.33 could be used better in our house, than theirs'.

Side Question:

Is there a way for us to check the loads on one of our connection carriers, specifically Sky West?

Wilbur Wright

The loads of are connection carriers show up in TravelNet just like mainline flights.

If you're asking if you can check the loads of Sky West's United Express flights, we don't have any special access.

Found the answer on DALPA Web

"Pilots receive different amounts in the DC as outlined in the PWA. Each pilot will receive the appropriate amount. Since the pay dates are only 1 day apart for the profit sharing and the normal mid month, the DC and DPSP contributions will be reflected on the mid-month paycheck based on the total of the profit sharing and mid
-month checks, and a single contribution will be made to Fidelity."

From the very last two pages of CA Bulletin 11-01 (starting at the bottom of page 4)

"Since Profit Sharing Plan payouts are pensionable, a pilot will also receive Delta Pilots Savings Plan/Defined Contribution Plan employer contributions based on his profit sharing payouts. While every pilot receives a 2% employer contribution to his Delta Pilot Pilots Savings Plan account, the amount and manner of the employer contribution to a pilot’s Defined Contribution Plan account depends upon his pre-merger status, as outlined in the PWA. A pre-merger Delta pilot will receive 11% of his profit sharing as an employer contribution to the DC Plan. A pre-merger Northwest pilot who was not a participant in the NWA MP3 (those hired at NWA after September 1, 2007) will receive 8% of profit sharing as an employer contribution to the DC Plan. A pre-merger Northwest pilot who is a participant in the NWA MP3 will generally receive 8% of profit sharing as an employer contribution to the DC Plan, but will see this contribution at the end of 2011, in the form of a larger than normally expected non-targeted "residual" MP3 payout."
