Reserve question
 
How is the reserve pay calculated?
Are you paid or credited per day or do you get a fix hourly amount?
Example:
4 hours/day credit
Or
76 hours/month?

If you fly just 1 day a month. And it’s an 8 hour day. Will you get your 76 hours plus 4 hours over the day credit?
Can you break guarantee on reserve without flying on your days off?

Reserve question
 
If reserve guarantee is 76 hours, then all flying and soft credit time for which you are assigned a trip goes towards that monthly guarantee. In our system, once your accumulated credit exceeds reserve guarantee, you’re no longer obligated to be on call the rest of the bid period. If you want to work above guarantee, you have to request to do so via a yellow slip and even then you’re limited to our Average Line Value plus 15 hours.

No

Yes, all depends on the credit values for the trips you get.

Reserve guarantee is based on average line value (ALV) - 2 hours. This changes month-to-month and varies by your seat. It will be no less than 72 and no more than 80 hours in a given month. For line construction purposes, a reserve day is valued at reserve guarantee/days in the bid month. After the scheduled are built, each reserve days is worth reserve guarantee/# of reserve days in the month.

All trips, even if you pick up a trips on your off days, just count toward your monthly guarantee. Once you've hit the reserve guarantee, you are considered "FULL," and done for the month. However, if you're 1 minute short, they can fly you up to ALV + 15 hours.

Another Reserve Question
 
Let’s say you’re on reserve from 1300-0100. You are released at 0100 without a call, but can they call you at 0030 for a 0230 report? What about calling at 0030 for a 0530 report?

They can call you at 0030 for a 0230 report, all that has to occur is for you to have the PWA duty required for the first duty period. You might be able to do the 0530 report depending on what it is and you the duty time as well. (it might be a short deadhead)

You duty day doesn't end at 0100, just your call-out window does.

The ALPA part 117 calculator app is great for running these scenarios.

Reserve question
Going from Sunday xday to Monday on call. Assigned a trip for 830pm Monday(assigned at normal time Sunday morning). Am I still on longcall from 1201am Monday until I go into rest for the 830pm report Monday night? Looking at a 30 hours in 7 issue. Thanks!

Yes, unless it is designated as a rest time. You can see this from the schedule menu in icrew or (better option) view your calendar in the new crew app thingy. It will show if you are in rest. Easier to find and makes more sense.
