There is no pay for Field Standby for the first two. After that they only adjust your Min Res guarantee up by one hour. If you break guarantee they pay nothing.
At UAL it pays 5.0 and reduces your availability by 5.0.
Is that add pay or credit to line value? The reason I ask is because if it's part of your line value then this whole discussion comes back to staffing. If United is staffed high enough that they are even entertaining assigning field standby then it stands to logic that it is highly unlikely that anyone will be breaking guarantee that month. Hence, the 5 hours of pay is meaningless.
