Or is it entirely separate?

Reserves get paid to be available, iaw with the contract.
It doesn't matter how much or what reserve pilots fly, until and unless they break guarantee, as tallied up by the other work/pay rules and rigs.
Yes, of course I'd like to see less abailable days and higher guarantees - and in that order.
I'd really like to see days off actually be days off.

As far as the new Long rate I’m only guessing but you should see the slash trips not get dumped into open time as often. I don’t see them going away because slash trips are marketing driven, I.e. mixed fleets going into the same city doesn’t allow for efficient crew swaps or RONs. So those trips will pay more for less time away, which is always nice. Soft time is your friend and is the enemy of the pairing optimizer.

"It's just a day off...
And inviolable, except by the chouce of the pilot and at Premium Rates. (Yes, I know that someone is going to get stuck out with a broken airplane/blizzard/whatever sometime... Still premium...)

Rsv question. I was Given a sequence today that started w a double DH to DCA to operate 1 leg to BOS. Overnight and DH back to phl tomorrow. Tomorrow is my last day of the rsv stretch. I told Scheduling I’m no showing those DHs today and just driving to DC. Plan is to contact tracking and no show for tomorrow and just non rev back to dc as soon as we land. Here is the question. Am I going To be credit protected for tomorrow if I get Off today or will they assign me a rap tomorrow and most likely give me a out and back. (I’ll be #1 on draft list) would it better to take hotel tonight and no show at 5am tomorrow or can I do It today and be “off” tomorrow?
