Remember, being an educated consumer, as a prospective applicant, one has the opportunity to ask questions of pay arrangement and benefits during the interview process... Take it or leave it. |

That’s bad but how would you like to give up 3 months of a higher pay rate annually for 12 years? |

Talk about thread derail! Let's get back on subject: Should reserve days not used be considered days off?

Short call, no Standing by for people who work at companies with no long call option to tell me I’m wrong |

We've already adjudicated that "days off" means "off", as in nonrev to Europe off.
Feel free to post unutilized reserve days as a separate line item, those can absolutely be of significant value to many people. |

To complicate the matter further we have convertable long call at my shop so you *can be* on long call and then the next day not on long call anymore. Pretty worthless if you want to do anything substantial. Like camping, being out of cell phone range in general or driving more than a few hours from the airport and staying with friends.
I wouldn't consider that a "day off" at all. Even long call is 12 hours. You can't plan on an event like a running race or team sport on a specific day. You could get called 12 hours before something that was planned for months and miss it. Other than doing chores around the house, grocery getting and dry cleaning it's not really great for fun life events. Because even long call non convertable reserve isn't a day off it's 1/2 of a day off. |
