A little help please on the “bad day/worse day” calculus? I thought I understood it but each time I’ve tried I don’t get the swap because “CAPPED RESERVE DAYS”??
Simply based on experience trying, I’ve come to the conclusion that if the whole month is black (my category is) there are no swaps that will work.

The general idea is you have to swap into days with worse negative coverage which is almost always the case for close in days where reserves are already getting used up.
My example from November worked because the upcoming week at the time (first week of November) was down to near zero available for 4 days in a row. Thanksgiving week still was only minus 1 or even on each of the four days. The total negative number for the days I was giving them was worse than the bad days over the holiday. Swap approved.
Dig around in the pwa and/or SRH for the legalese but that is the gist.

Check out my awesome post in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
I think I'll call it the "Z-factor" for Generation Z. Z-factor is CPI + 1% or 2%, based on the assumption that CPI understates actual inflation.
Pay tables in the next contract for years 2, 3, and/or 4 should not be in actual dollars, but rather codified as Z-factor + X%. So year two would be year 1 pay tables plus Z+10%; year 3 pay tables would be year 2 pay tables plus Z+8%, etc. These would ensure our gains are in real dollars.
Inflation is here, and definitely not "transitory." The purchasing power of our Federal Reserve Notes aka U.S. Dollars is being eaten away, through no fault of labor or management. The Z-factor (patent pending) protects us against inflation.
A5S
Edit: There needs to be a clause written stating that pay tables will increase by Z + 3% beyond the amendable date.

This is an important discussion point, but I believe the PWA was amendable Jan 1, 2020. ALPA and the Co. elected to start discussions early.
According to the .gov, inflation was:
7.7 % Jan 1, 2020 to Jan 1, 2022.
9.1% Jan 1, 2019 to Jan 1, 2022 (the date of our last raise).

I generally spend 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening. Checking open time has made a tremendous amount of money for me.

Go away. You have nothing of value to add here.
I'd love to banter with you, but I have to leave for the airport and commute up for a trip. That starts tomorrow morning with a 0555 sign in. Because majority of our trips in NY are uncommutable on both ends, that's how the kompany builds them. Even in the top are suffering from this.
BUCK YOU right back at ya.

Any discussion of using CPI increases on future amendable years to keep the company from using inflation against us?
We became amendable in Jan 2019. The company can agree to a 15% percent (or so....no idea of the correct number) increase and the pilot cost will be flat in 2019 dollars given inflation.
Our contract value is eroding just sitting here. I'm hoping there is some mechanism for this going forward to prevent rewarding the company for slow rolling the process.
