And if you do agree to a conversion, it pays a mininum day on top of guarantee, regardless of whether you get a trip or not.

This is secondhand info though, so I might be completely wrong in this post.

A reserve may put in for a green slip (premium trip that would pay 2x pay for line holder or straight time above guarantee plus future days off for reserves.)
If a reserve gets the GS, they get the hours above guarantee, and the next days off (of scheduled on call days) of equal number of the trip. If they have no on call days left in the month, you get PayBack days, PB, which are very useful for dropping future trips, future on call days, or even extra vacation (a subject worthy of an small pamphlet) on how to use effectively.

VDA needs total revamping. Don't hate the player but I hate the game. One dude shouldn't be able to make $700k/yr while dropping his schedule because he's senior and always gets called. If you're on VDA, get used , then you go to the bottom of the list until your name comes up again. Also needs more transparency. As someone said, we need to know what the trip is that we are volunteering to do on our time off. Quick DCA turn at 11pm to recover a flight? Yeah that could work. Fly down to the islands in a storm or do a transcon at midnight with zero knoweldge of what I'm accepting? Nope.
Reserve grids need to go. The CA reserve grid was already red in the first 48 add/drop window. How is that even possible?
