Default USAF flight pay as an IMA reservist

I served 11 consecutive years of USAF active duty flying and accumulated the gate months necessary to receive flight pay through 18 years of service.

I am currently serving as an IMA in a non-rated staff billet at the Pentagon, so I do not receive any flight pay. I'm not sure how much money I am leaving on the table by not drawing flight pay for my reserve duty.

Does anyone have any experience as an IMA in a rated staff position and knows how much flight pay they receive? My initial thought is that I'm just losing a small amount of money (1/30 of my monthly flight pay rate for each IDT or AT I serve). However, I also receive foreign language proficiency pay and I'm receiving that pay in full each month just like I used to when I was active duty regardless of whether I serve a single day that month or not. If flight pay is paid out the same way, I'm losing $650 a month which means I need to find a rated billet now!

Any thoughts are appreciated.
