This business is so risky I work a second career.
2) more leverage for the next contract.

Two ways: 1) when valuing a career (this is more like a job than a career) you should discount your future earnings by an interest rate commensurate with the riskiness of the employer. In this case that employer is very risky so you'd use a high rate which lowers the present value (PV) of your future income. If the business improves this lowers the discount rate and increases the PV. If you don't think this means anything ask TWA, EAL, PAN AM pilots what they think.

I get that and it is a fair point. What I am really asking is can someone take our contractual profit sharing formula, and calculate some estimates for our return on the profits, assuming historical 4th qtr data since we don't have that data yet. I'm at a 3rd grade math level and can't compute it myself
