Well my understanding is no. It’s like JetBlue. As reserve pilot, if you pick up a straight pay on days off, it doesn’t count as extra pay over guarantee. It simply fills your reserve bucket hours. At AS, it doesn’t count towards your reserve bucket hours. It counts as extra pay-only.

Amazing though. People are convinced Delta is better, but they don’t even know what rules they have.


As a reserve, I can pick up two 2-day trips on days off and up my pay from 79 to 100 hrs. That’s a neat feature to have.
