Looking at my timecard, the 5 days of reserve plus gave me only 14:32 making each reserve day worth 2:32 of credit.
Wouldn't each reserve day be worth the ALV/days available for reserve giving each day closer to a 4+ hour day, not 2:32 since it is not due to a leave of absence or personal drop? Thanks in advance and sorry if its too confusing...

When you transition from regular to reserve, you lose the following month's credit for that trip. Any credit in the reserve month simply goes against your reserve guarantee. You would have been better off, imo, just bidding a trip and not losing the credit from your regular line month trip.
