His logic is correct. You make above the reserve guarantee if you have vacation that month. There is a website run by a Delta guy that has a spreadsheet that can help you figure this out.
I do reserve in vacation months. Here is my info from last time I did reserve. I had 2 weeks of vacation in a 31 day month with a 72 hour reserve guarantee. The basics are the 14 days value based on the guarentee are replaced by the value of your 14 days of vacation. So in this example the 45:30 of vacation replaced the 32:30ish of reserve value. Net gain is 13:00 hours of pay for 85 hours of pay and you sit 9 days of reserve.
I can PM you the website if you would like to see it. It has a lot of helpful information in it.
