Look at the top right corner of your pay stub in iCrew.
The rate is in minutes, so multiply by 60 to get hours and 70 to get guarantee...Cheers

That's what I thought until I called payroll because it looked like I wasn't being paid the 90 rate while on reserve. They told me every 88 category gets 88 pay and the 90 qualified categories get the 90 pay when you fly the 90. It's hard to actually tell because you usually fly the 90 enough that the difference is minimal, but they assured me I was being paid the 88 rate unless I flew the 90 and my calculations agreed with that. I've never figured out that rate in minutes on the top of the pay stub. There is nothing in the contract that specifies what the 90 qualified guys should get paid, but you are actually an 88 category and not a 90 category according to the payroll people.
