When I sat reserve, it was pre-contract 2012. Reserve guarantee was 70 hours every month. The average daily guarantee was 5 hours per day, applied to reserves by the month, not trip, and only applied to duty periods where you actually flew a flight. It meant you had to fly at least 15 duty periods per month to break guarantee. Back then, most 4 days on the -88 only had 3 duty periods. 0 GS. Breaking guarantee was impossible. On a brighter note, I was never flying tired. Lol.
I also used to walk uphill in the snow to school, both ways.
