I did ask a Delta pilot.
If you are a Delta pilot, I’ll ask you too. You got a reserve line. Say your guarantee is 75 hrs. Now regular open time opens up for line holders. Can you, as a reserve pilot, pick up any opentime trip on reserve day off, from the opentime pot and get paid over guarantee? Eg, pay from 75 hrs becomes 86 hrs pay for picking up a 2-day worth 11 hrs.
Because I’ve heard the answer to that is no.
