How many days would I be on reserve?
Would my guarantee still be 80 if I didn't fly above 67 hours? (e.g. I could fly 30 hours and get paid for 80 or fly 72 hours and get paid for 85)
Thanks
With 4 days of vacation in March and an ALV of 80 (normal Reserve guarantee of 78) you have a Reserve guarantee of 80:36 . You will be on call 16 days with 10 X-days, unless your category gets the extra X day in which you would be on call 15 days with 11 X-days.
You can fly zero hours and you will still get paid for 80:36. There is a great Reserve Calculator that figures this out for every month and takes training, vacation, and MIL LV into account. I think you can download it from the DALPA site.
