The one big missing piece there is no ability to elit or drop days and change contact times. And very minimal ability to preference trips.
I just got done with a 3 day PM reserve trip. It was assigned as 3 days. Day 2 changed at the end of day one due to timing out. I was pay protected for the lost leg day one but NO move up pay day two for the now earlier deadhead to join back up with my trip. Then day two, I get reassigned after the deadhead to change where I was going for my overnight and my day three late deadhead to base became a morning leg then double deadhead to base. I got the guarantee for the lost leg day one and the guarantee for the lost TFP from the changes to day two. That didn't create "move up" for day two or day three. Yes, reserves can absolutely trigger premium pay legs at the back end of a day when more keeps getting added AFTER that duty period has already begun. IF that added flying is added for the NEXT day, it does NOT trigger premium as a reserve. Again (and I just double checked with SWAPA) premium during a reserve block can only be triggered by changes to the CURRENT DAY. The trip guarantees are what apply the same as a line holder, not the premium pay. The contract section sited is 4.M.6
