Nope. It means we lead in Profit Sharing. No other airline has a formula for payout as good as ours, and "pensionable" means we get an extra 15% on TOP on the Profit Sharing payout. Nobody has that added 15%, even if their formulas
were as good as ours.

Nice try! At 6.5 TFP for the day, it means a SWA pilot qualifies for the conditional maximum 5:39 ADG exactly never. SWA is working under an old contract, and the ADG conversion was not modified after FAR117.

Got me! Crew Augmentation is indeed a "portion" of all the language in our contract that can be called Work Rules. It's an important portion, and one that has a significant impact on staffing and QOL for long haul pilots, but golly…it's on a "portion". it's also an area where we clearly lead the industry.
I understand how you'd want to diminish that. First World problems.
