If a customer cancels a flight to start your trip and you get put on R1 (home reserve) and don't get called out right away there's a good chance you're looking at guarantee. Going for training twice a year and not doing it on your days off.... you're probably looking at 62 hours. Getting sent home a couple days early for no reason to sit R1.... there goes a couple days of CRT (trip rig) and your looking at not much more above guarantee. My point is the only thing that you are guaranteed as far as pay is guarantee.
I got put on R1 at the end of this month and will likely only get Per Diem for 13.5 days for next month. I'm not sure what the rig will work out to but those 3 days they converted to R1 were all gonna be over guarantee. It happens here a ton.
