i was talking regular line holder. If you look at your time card when on reserve you will see a line that says: Credit + Res Guarantee + Other Guarantee = Subtotal Credit. Suit up pay is given when you are assigned a trip but don’t actually fly it so it’s treated just like a trip on reserve and is subtracted from your reserve guarantee and put under the Credit column......same place the trip credit would have been if you had flown it. If the contract said you just got pay for it...then you would get it above guarantee. But, alas, it doesn’t say that.

In other words, you actually are getting pay and credit for any trip you fly on reserve. It’s just that your reserve guarantee is reduced a like amount. If you have a 75 hr reserve guarantee and fly trips worth 50 hrs, you will get paid for those trips the same as a regular line holder (including things like international override and per diem) and get 25 hrs of pay for reserve guarantee.
