Event date.

Yea the "have a great day thanks" signoff after the denial just makes it burn extra

Yep, didn't read the instructions very carefully.

My SCCs were paid at the lower aircraft rate. Is this correct? 14.C.1.c. says reserves are to be paid at the highest rate. Am I missing something somewhere about SCC pay?

That drives me nuts.

320. You have FOUR payrates. 320/19, 321, 321N and composite rate. (I think this is what's hitting your SCCs)

7ER?
One pay rate for 752, 753 and 763.

Nobody has ever explained why that's the case.

I know RES guarantee is supposed to pay at 321N (blended rate until May, then full rate).

Not sure about SCC…but if the company can short us and we don’t catch it, they will.

I know the NEO had a phased blended rate at one point but is that done now and what about the 737s? Not finding a reference and the previous was 4.C.1.c. (not sec. 14 oops)

I believe the phase ends in May.

PWA MOU 23-02. Phased rate (currently “A321 rate increased by 66.7% of the difference between the A321 and A321N rate”) for RES guarantee and ends 1 May 25. RES guarantee goes to full A321N rate on 2 May 25.

Just reading everything in 4.C.1 which refers to 4.G, I would look up the composite rate published 1 Jan. I would expect the composite rate would sit between A319/320 and A321 since there are more short busses than NEOs.

4.C.1.c applies to RES guarantee. 4.C.1.d appears to apply to any other credit on RES. I would suggest comparing the dollar value of the SCC on your PAS to the published composite rate. Might not be bad to calculate composite rate yourself to check theirs…

“Delay, Deny, Defend”

Isn’t that the go-to for crooked insurance (but I repeat myself) companies?

Never had a problem myself. Just lucky, I guess.
