I think the TRS-80 actually looks at that in the three minutes it takes assigning the pickup.

for instance i will have only flown say 40 hrs on reserve but im guaranteed 75 hours of pay so is open time additional on top of that 75
I wouldn't call it bonus pay since you are actually working for it and giving up a scheduled day off Reserve guarantee is actually 76 hours a month. If you pick up open time outside of your reserve days, that is added to the 76 hours, but does not count towards breaking guarantee.

If you pick up open time within 120 hours of the trip start, you should be getting time and a half this month according to the letter Tracy Gallo sent out in May. If you take a trip someone else posted, then it would just be normal pay.

Open time pickups is bonus time.. holding a line you must make at least guarantee which is a separate and open time does not count towards it.. clarify if incorrect thanks.
As a line holder you are awarded a minimum line value which varies month to month. You are paid on what you actually fly. You can drop or give away to as low as 58.5 hours of credit without using vacation or user time. (That is if you can actually drop or give away trips) Or you can trade or pick up as much as you want on days off up the Sked+/FAR limits.

Not much on the FO side since it is being picked up by all the new CA's waiting for IOE. (FO trips paid at CA wages, or about double time) Anything in red should be time and a half. Anything in dark blue within 120 should also be time and a half. If you call to pick it up, they either need to assign it to a reserve (unlikely since we only have a total of 58 reserves next month system wide) immediately or let you pick it up.
