Some nice things they have are LC is always done from home if you live in the U.S. If you have a period where you could not make it if an assignment comes available, you call scheduling and tell them. They won't call you for an assignment during that period and will move to the next person in line.
You are at the bottom of the list for conversion to SC if you are starting a block of reserve days and if they do need to assign someone SC who is starting a block of days they would give you a noon SC.
The bad stuff was you could get unlimited SC assignments and they would convert the whole list if an IROP was expected and if the coverage dropped below a certain threshold.
They would also offer what were called RSA days. A reserve or lineholder on days off could volunteer to sit SC and would get paid an additional 4:15. If they didn't use you, you got the pay and stayed home. If they used you, you got 4:15 or whatever credit you flew. Those days were offered when coverage dropped below a threshold % or IROP's were expected. It was a great way for local guys to make more money while supplementing SC reserves. The 4:15 for reserves went above guarantee.
Reserve guarantee 75 hours.
150% pay above 78 hours.
12 year CA pay $159 Delta $162
10 year FO Pay $104 Delta $108
