NOTES:
1. You are paid the greater of pay credits (Block + DH = trng, etc), CRT, or Min Guarantee. Note that these calculations are made on a MONTHLY (not daily) basis! This is one of the weakest provisions of our "soft pay" issues at Atlas. If you fly a 16 hour trip one day, you're effectively paid for 4.85 hours for that trip.
2. Of course the first year is $1,600 / month in training and 50 hour guarantee after that.
3. Sick pays NOTHING until you are down to min guarantee (50 or 62) then it "pays" 3.65 hours per day.
4. Reserve "R - 1" (Home) pays NOTHING .
5. Reserve "R - 3" (Airportl) pays 1 hour for every 2 hours on duty
6. Training pays 3.65 hours per day.
6. Deadheads pay 1:2.85 - i.e., 2.85 hours of deadhead time equals one (1) hour of pay.
7. 737 FO's are paid at year one rates for the first three years (737 pilots are paid 75.91 of the "base 747" pay)

These are just a few of the highlights of our current contract...

My mistake (fixed above)

You are absolutely correct, It is R3 that pays 1:2

note to self: don't cook and post at the same time ...
