It's the total of the your duty time or something?
Readys don't sit too much anymore. Don't expect only day trips it's not uncommon to get assigned a 3 or 4 day when on ready just because they are short on short call rsv.
Ready pays better then normal short call reserve I credited about 90 the month a sat ready, never broke guarantee on short call.
5 on 3 off, 8 hour sits at the airport, 4 hours credit per day min. Which basically means of you ever do any duty outside of your 8 hour shift your getting paid extra.
It's not a bad deal if you live in base
