Don't forget this little gem.

If his EDAA (Employment Date As Adjusted...basically your hire date) falls between the first (1st) day and the sixteenth (16th) day of a Calendar Month (inclusive of both days), a Pilot’s effective date for automatic pay progression shall be the first (1st) day of the flying month that predominantly covers the first (1st) through sixteenth (16th) Calendar Day period of that Calendar Month. If his EDAA falls after the sixteenth (16th) day of a Calendar Month, a Pilot’s effective date for automatic pay progression shall be the first (1st) day of the flying month in the Calendar Month following the Calendar Month in which the EDAA occurs.
