Reserve pay credit
I asked this question within another thread but thought it might be better served in its own thread. Sorry for asking twice.
If you get the early upgrade to 900 due to prior experience, what kind of pay credit per month is reasonable to expect while on reserve? Can you get to at least 85 hours? I am assuming it will certainly be NY based.

Union says 83
Mine personally for 2017 holding a good line and bidding Max days off was about 79ish

Just checked Rainmaker because I dropped a reserve day earlier in the month. Noticed that they cut 4:00 hours instead of 3:52. I know 8 minutes may not be a big deal to some, but the issue is that they used the old software logic for building my reserve schedule (11 days off vs. new 12), yet they used the new JCBA time credit penalty for the dropped day. Placed a comment on Rainmaker, so we'll see what comes back.

For a newer CA, that would equate to about $12. For a “saltier” CA, that could end up being $16. Allow it once a month, and that’s about $192 in lost wages plus $23 in unmatched 401K funds.

(Not saying you shouldn't, that COULD be an issue that affects everyone who dropped reserve this month and therefore a group grievance)

I understand. I know some who check rainmaker every pay period, and I know some who probably couldn’t find it online without a lot of help. Personally, I only check when something “weird” happens, like a time out, extension, OT, etc. Have probably only saved myself a few duckies over time, but... just this month, I picked up some P200, it showed in Crew Trac, but not on RM. For the whole 4-day trip. At the new rates. That would have been some SERIOUS lack of drinking funds. Glad I checked it!

YMMVYeah, I'm similar, don't check it always but do of something abnormal occurs.
I have caught a few things that would have cost me some coin, never a whole 4 day though.. that's a new high.
