This is exactly how it works; it’s simple so pay attention. HE WAS NOT ELLIAGLE TO SIT RESERVE BECAUSE HE HAD NOT COMPLETED IOE and agreed to fly open time during his wait! So any flying he does is in addition to his monthly guarantee. Seeing that it was all Jr man time it was paid out at 150% above and beyond our guarantee. This is our agreement with Mgmnt and this is how all open time is paid, even for reservist.
If you are sitting reserve and pick up flying it does not count toward breaking guarantee, instead it is paid above and beyond (in addition too). BTW, I as well as everyone else at SKW takes advantage if these policies. It's one of the many reasons why we are among, if not the, highest paid.
