Joe,
reserve is 73 hours (hey you just made an extra hour without doing anything!)
VDO’s pays 50% (hint- put the VDO on your last day off so any trip you do pays the 50% for the whole trip, yes that includes normal reserve days it flies over. If your VDO your first day off then any trip that touches it only pays for the singular VDO)
anything over 2 unassigned SC/FSB adds 1 hour per unused. The caveat being if you did the pick up then there is a limit to the extra pay. If the crew desk assigns them all, there is no cap to the added hour of pay per occurrence beyond the first two. My best month was 7 hours of unused SC/FSB pay because I let the crew desk assign them all.
see 3-C-1-b
highly recommend downloading the Reserve Gouge from the other forum. I think the latest version is 6.5.
