The language in the 2006 contract did not mean you would get that pay rate for the entire preceding month, but instead only for trips on or after that date, so your calculations are off.
Actually, you did get paid for the entire month, not just trips after the DOS. Just like if you were hired October 15, **** you get year 2, 3, 4, etc pay for the entire October bid month, not just for trips on or after October 15.
