It has been addressed, but I'm all for improving it.
What you have stated is true, sort of. Per the contact, that "look back" 5:15 guarantee will not be applied to any GS. For example, I got a 3 day GS worth 13:30 for me (I'm on Res) and 15:15 for the Captain. A GS is not considered a qualifying duty period. Although the reserve duty period average of 5:15 was applied or the other trips I flew that month the GS was not. So yes it is a "B" scale for GSs that the company is enjoying.
