When a reserve has(5) five unused Short Call and/or Field Standby assignments in a Bid period that were ASSIGNED to him((that is, not picked up), his MPG shall increase by 1(one) hour for each subsequent unused Short Call or FS assignment that is also assigned to him.

So in the first 5 SC or FS assignments you get paid 3 hours of pay. First two free then 1 hour per the next three. In these you may aggressively pick up and be paid, but buyer beware, after five, every one you aggressively picked up in the first five or later counts against you receiving additional money.

If you really want to maximize money in hopes of greater than 5 SC's,
Don't aggressively pick up. Food for thought.
