That’s my understanding…essentially if you’re getting called on a reserve day that meets reserve callout criteria …no GS pay. I haven’t experienced this scenario, but CS could have broken the trip up and just assigned you day 1 off SC…that happens frequently.
Another slightly different example;
-you’re coming off an x-day and starting reserve…Arcos calls for a 0800 report for a GS. You don’t have to report that early, hence why you’re getting called for the GS. That day should pay above guarantee…you’ll probably have to have scheduling pay you accordingly. If the trip is multiple days…and you are on reserve…those days just go toward the reserve guarantee. Another gotcha is that first day only pays BL..so if it’s a 1x short flight…it won’t pay well. Lastly, you’ve burned GS#1, so you’re now at the bottom of the callouts. You might have a reason to take such a callout…but most the time I pass on these callouts.
