Whatever flying you do on those days is single pay/no credit plus you get the X days back.
The hours on your normal reserve days count as normal reserve credit.
Based on that, I'm curious. Here's what I had happen to me a few weeks back. I was in the middle of a group of reserve days but happened to be on long call on this particular day. I recieved an automated call at 10 PM or so. It went to voicemail but the message was in regard to an IA for the following morning with a 6 AM showtime. The message mentioned "premium" pay but since this was my first experience with an IA, I was suspicious as to whether it would really be "premium" pay for a reserve and didn't take the trip. From what some have said, it would seem that I would have gotten paid above guarantee for the trip even though it fell on a reserve day (I assume because they had no short calls and it was less than the 12 hour window for a long call). Am I understanding that correctly?
