Correct. Three days of CQ are no different than three on call days. The only reason CQ is in the spreadsheet at all is because it boosts the pay above the reserve guarantee. In fact if you also use John's Reserve Line Simulator (another great spreadsheet) it even specifically states "CQ does not count against X days."

Ya think retro for retirees will face any headwinds from ALPA negotiators because ALPA MAY not be able to get their 1.8% on the retiree retro payout?
From ALPA's perspective(follow the $$$), if it paid out as a signing bonus ALPA gets their cut..... yes, I know it sounds cynical, and I'm not castigating ALPA by any means, but after safety, $$$ comes into play somewhere in the ALPA calculus.
Hopefully, I'm wrong

Call my naïve, but I think you’re wrong. I hope you’re wrong.

I’m trying to put myself in the shoes of a member of the MEC or the negotiating committee. In no way whatsoever am I concerned about increasing the take for ALPA. It’s not like the budget is hurting and clearly I wouldn’t get any personal cut myself.
Call my naïve, but I think you’re wrong. I hope you’re wrong.

I don't lose any sleep over it, I can't control it...just musing by me.

Usually, bonuses are $ to incentivize the voters to vote yes.
