Jeff,
The profit sharing is just that... It's a percentage of the total profit that is shared with the employees that has been negotiated in your contract.
Not all airlines have profit sharing...
Not all airlines make a profit...
How can you as a pilot help with profit?
- Taxi on one engine to conserve fuel
- Don't start the APU early when coming in on approach... if at all. It may not even be needed. This saves fuel as well.
- Stick the the climb and descent profiles that the company requests... this saves fuel.
- If you are filed for FL330 for 2 hours... and the winds are OK at FL370, then you can request a climb to FL370... this saves fuel too.
- Be on time...
- Customer service... retail or aviation... it's still priority one. Keep them wanting to come back.
Notice most of our issues are fuel savings... well, unless you've lived under a log this past year you know how much fuel is, and how it can make or break an airline... So that's the primary thing.
Jeff... The friggin' Alps!!!! That's awesome!
Jeremy... Glad you found the link! Do I have to report your lack of acute vision to your AME???
