SWAPA is gearing up for some significant education on LCO. If you go to the union website contract q&a page, they have a really good breakdown on the data the SRC guys compiled that show how frequently the move up premium happens, and the math on why LCO is a better deal.

Yes, there will be times where you will end up with less after a move up with LCO. However, any time the reroute goes outside the original trip footprint the double time on those legs will add up quickly. That scenario happens way more frequently than a move up.

The real question is, how will the company adapt in order to minimize reroutes going forward?
