Zero utilization on reserve this month.

3 days CQ. If not for CQ, I'd not have touched an airport all month.

G is correct in this case. F (and the associated pay) would only apply if the first day of your GS was on a LC day, and you accepted it with <18 hours notice.

No. G code is correct. He’s saying the only way you are due extra pay for working on a LC day is an F code. You get an F code for working a green slip rotation that starts on a LC day AND is basically an early report rotation that you otherwise aren’t legal to be given as a reserve assignment.

Small point, but it’s more accurate to say “earlier than required availability”. IOW, you can accept a F#1 40 hours prior to report for a “GS” rotation which reports at, say 0900 on your first day of reserve.

Often, this only makes sense in the OP’s situation: the last opportunity to get anything, so it’s that or nothing.

Edit: tennis beat me to it. What he said.

Working for free on the second day, sure. But you still get single pay no credit above your November guarantee plus a banked PB day for today. I'd consider that a win if you wanted to fly anyway.
