I just want to highlight the fact that 99% of the time you're assigned hot reserve, you're not "netting" extra pay. Nets the same as sitting at home under the two hour call out unless you end up breaking guarantee. Most pilots average 3-4 days of hot per month and never break guarantee unless they pickup flying on days off.

If you credit just under 75 hours on reserve, you worked really hard that month and you probably would of credited north of 100 if hot reserve went on top of guarantee and deadhead pay was industry standard 100% instead of our Mesa bottom of the barrel 50%.
