You've been waiting for it, and it has finally arrived.

Nice!! But I will say the last column seems misleading. For example in EWR, while currently the most junior line holders have been at the company for 5 years or so, this is likely to come down to 3.5. It most likely will not take 2 years to get a line in EWR. There is a large gap between recent upgrades and the bulk of 5 year guys because there are so few 2014 hires.

So the captains sitting reserve are getting only minimum guarantee for the year or so they are on reserve or do they have the opportunity to get more credit hours?

As Viking6 said the number of reserves varies by season. As a reserve FO I was seeing 25-55 hours of flying per month (more in the summer, less this time of year), and I would think it is similar for captains. Even working all of your reserve days in my experience it would be difficult to break min guarantee. I know we can pick up premium pay (yellow/red flag) on days off, but I'm not sure how that pays because I haven't done it.

I broke 75 hours once on Reserve, so it is not impossible. Yes, you can pick up extra flying on your days off, but remember you will only have 12 days off so it will be hard to do so and stay Part 117 compliant. Not impossible, but it makes it hard to be efficient.
