This is why its not a good idea to get contract questions answered here. There is no QA. The committee section on the DALPA web site is the best place for any contract questions since they will be answered and QA's by people who really understand the contract.
In the case of Co-terminal operations the contract is very specific. Only the NYC airports allow a pilot to measure availability by his choice of airport. For the LA co-terminal operations all reserve availability is measured by report time to LAX. This is contained in section 23.
10. In pilot bases with co-terminal airports, a short call pilot’s availability will be determined
26 as follows:

Co-Terminal Airports Airport Reserve Availability
Determined From
LAX, ONT, SNA, BUR, LGB from LAX
DFW, DAL from DFW
EWR, JFK, LGA from EWR, JFK or LGA
