Hahahaha. He thinks he's gonna get to sit around on reserve. Anything picked up on days off is bonus money. Do we even have any reserves left? I know a few and they fly every day. It is nice if you can break guarantee. You can credit 100-110hrs pretty easy.

for the record I have basically been sitting on my butt on reserve for the record but yes thanks thats what I was looking for..

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.

Thats the best combo!! Sit at home on reserve, don't get called. Then pick up JRM time on days off.. Easy 100+ months..

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.
