GS pay for reserves works out well. I doubt you will ever see the company pay double pay on top of the cap and payback days. Regular lineholders don't get the payback days. The company tried very hard on the 1113 contract to eliminate the PB days for reserve GS's and we managed to hold onto it. In the end you will make more money with the PB days in most situations.
