Thanks for the kind words all. I'm also happy to see that other carriers are doing good as well. It's nice to see us all moving in the right direction for once.

One thing I should've explained better in the OP: For those that aren't DL employees, these weren't supposed to come out until 2/14, and were posted in place of our normal checks. The company does a pretty good job of hyping that day up (celebrations system-wide, etc.). I'm not sure how many people got to see theirs ahead of time, but they moved pretty quick to shut access to employee paycheck viewing down until it was fixed... For them, this was like kids seeing their Christmas presents on 12/18...

Congrats on the extra month's pay. 🙂
Sorry to hear that DL unilaterally cut the profit-sharing percentage to 10% of profits from 15% of profits for this year. Record profits and yet continued concessions. 🙁
The check is certainly nice, but you're right; for every step forward, there's a least one back. Sure we get a raise in April, but it's offset by an increase in employee-borne costs. We get a hella nice PS check-that we all earned- but the percentage is cut going forward.
It's like an economic cha cha.
One other thing: On our employee website, they're doing a thing where employees can submit idea on how they plan to use their PS checks. The leading response right now is "pay bills." That, to me, is really telling...
