So both scenarios have the same result -- you could be called in all but 11 days of the month. You will be paid 75 hours. Yes, flying accrues credit hours, while ready reserve does not. But that's a technicality when neither case leads to more pay (i.e. breaking 75 hours).
Right, but credit hrs should match how long you sit at airport. So if you sit 8 hrs, you should get 8 credit hrs. Not 6 or whatever they pay. You won't obviously go over 75. But your credit should match what you do. So fly 2 hr flight, you get 2 hrs credit. Sit 8hrs ready, get 8 hrs credit.
