A GS on reserve day pays above guarantee for the 1st day of the trip. I had one last year and I'm pretty sure that is how it got paid out. Otherwise, why would one agree to a report < 12 if there is no benefit to the pilot? Perhaps I'm looking at it wrong. I can see the PB day being the advantage but I don't see how it changes the pay.

Brocc,
What I think you are referring to is either a less than 12 hour call-out when on long call or an earlier than contractual report time on day 1.
I have had both of these pay as GS.
I believe that you are correct in the above scenarios and both of these situations would pay as a GS even though it was an "on-call" day. Other than those two situations, I am not sure that it would be a GS.
Not sure about schedulers letting you move an X day to an on call day but its worth a try.

Yes. That code still works. I use it if the agent is busy. But, there was another one that allowed you to hi light the part of the paperwork you wanted to print, then print only that portion. That was a nice feature, because it saved a lot of trees. 
Now, I "split the thing up" because the flight plan is normally way too long to begin with and it's easier to split that off from the rest of it when you track your fuel burn and times.
I split the NOTAMS from the weather, for the same reason. JFK/LAX/SFO/SEA/ATL normally have way to many NOTAMS to keep with the weather. To me, it's easier to keep them apart. Go over the TP's again while you are enroute and not get bogged down by all the NOTAMS and go over the destinations NOTAMS when you get closer to landing again and not get bogged down by the weather.
The flight attendant briefing form goes to the lead flight attendant when I brief him/her. Like NERD, I add the weather, expected ride, MX, taxi times, notes, ect., to that.
So, really there are only three documents up there: the flight plan, NOTAMS, and weather.
I tried it your "non-splitting" way a few times. But, it was way to cumbersome to have the flight plan attached to the NOTAMS and WX while filling out the HOWGOZIT. It was too much paper to be rustling around.

Then what are you talking about? The whole idea behind a GS while on reserve days is that is has to be less than 12 hours to report, LC assumed. If it's more than 12 hours out why would they give you a GS on reserve days? They would just assign you the trip as a reserve pilot. I'm not following your scenario.

Okay. Got it. I didn't think about long haul flying with a much longer flight plan (HOWGOZIT) section. I can see where you would want that separate when you're having to constantly update it on a long flight. I fly the 88 and it's not really an issue for us for the length of flights we do. Sorry for the confusion.

There are many times I get to the gate and the paperwork isn't avaialble or hasn't been printed out. I guess we're now supposed to sit around and wait during the time we could have used to get ahead in the airplane. Brilliant. Well, I'm not rushing once I get to go down the jetway.
