A YS on X days is flying for free (up to your reserve guarantee). No extra pay, no extra days off. But, if you really want to avoid going back to the sim due to failing to consolidate it is a viable option.
If you do happen to actually hit reserve guarantee then at least you'll get paid for whatever you YS above that.
