There is also a TLV which in essence levels the entire year in that the average for the year for the monthly ALV must meet a certain threshold as well...so as to prevent the company from making too many months low. I dont know what the TLV number is. Hope this helps.
Minimum line is 65. Reserve guarantee is ALV-2, but must always be between 72:00 & 80:00. PBS can build lines that are within 7:30 of ALV. ALV is different every month and is different fleet-to-fleet, but all domiciles on a given fleet will have the same ALV in a bid period, i.e. all A320 categories will have the same ALV for September, but that ALV May be different than the 737 ALV.
