they used to build lines of just field stby and the local senior guys used to bid these. Never flew a single trip while on field standby.

I agree that the JCBA screwed this up for us. I am still a NO!
Here's the math in the above scenario under the JCBA:
Pure short call line = MPG of 76.3 hours.
If they convert you to FSB for all 18 days and never give you an assignment, you will receive 16 hours of add pay (18-2=16)
Total pay for month equals 92.3 hours.
