Looks like it's fixed starting Nov...
from the MEC SSC -
"As a reserve, when you have a Short Call (SC) or Field Standby (FSB) assignment that goes unused, the United Pilot Agreement (UPA) section 3-C-1-b explains how your Minimum Pay Guarantee (MPG) may be increased.
In order to understand this UPA section and how unused SC/FSBs increase MPG, you need to read paragraphs 3-C-1-b-1-a and 3-C-1-b-1-b
as separate events.
Up until now, due to IT limitations, the company's crew management system wasn't programmed to determine the difference between an assigned or picked up SC/FSB. It was treating all SC/FSBs as if they were assigned. This resulted in extra contractual overpayments to pilots on reserve.
Effective with the November bid period, the crew management system is programmed in compliance with UPA sections 3-C-1-b-1-a and 3-C-1-b-1-b. With this in mind, your pay expectations will change if you have been bidding reserve unaware of the issues outlined above and you routinely increased your MPG through unused SC and FSB assignments.
In November, the company will start calculating the reserve MPG bump in accordance with the UPA. This means, as a reserve, your SC/FSBs will not be treated as if they were all assigned so you may not be eligible for the paragraph (b) MPG increase if you choose to pick up reserve assignments."
