Imagine trying to figure out what you'd be getting paid that month, and on reserve do you get 400 or only if you fly the 400 that month?
At Delta, the MD88/90 categories has different pay rates depending on what you fly. A reserve gets the pay of the highest paying category they may fly, irregardless of what they actually. A line holder gets the pay prorated depending on which aircraft they are scheduled to fly.
Seems to work fine for that category.
