A GS on reserve day pays above guarantee for the 1st day of the trip. I had one last year and I'm pretty sure that is how it got paid out. Otherwise, why would one agree to a report < 12 if there is no benefit to the pilot? Perhaps I'm looking at it wrong. I can see the PB day being the advantage but I don't see how it changes the pay.
