"I usually dislike reserve as much as just about anyone and I love it when I'm not actually used for a stretch of days, but when you can be flown up to 73 hours during a reserve month for the exact same pay as a month of zero hours (omitting per diem), I don't understand the perception that we're "not getting paid" for FSB/SCR. That's 73 hours of flying you could be assigned, plus all that additional TAFB - for the same as potentially zero flying hours, but some commitments to be either near or at the airport a few times."
I think you're missing the point. Reserves time belongs to the company for 18 days a month. It's even worse for global reserves, since HDOs and RDOs can be rolled. We can't base pay on Time Away From Base. If we did then our narrowbodies would get the most pay.
