However the chances of breaking minimum would 100% be on you, your availability and willingness to work. On reserve you’ll rarely credit more than minimum from reserve but depending on your schedule and time of the year/environmental factors there may be premium to pickup. Which is always above mmg. Once you’re a line holder it’s 100% on you. Work for straight pay and each 50-100% above mmg or take your chance with getting called for premium and working very little.
Busdriver is right. I worked my tail off when I was on a relief line. I knew Reserve would be hit or miss. People on reserve can break MMG, but it depends on your reserve period and how many days off you have clumped together to be able to flying premium trips. Also, the beginning of the month has a lot of premium flying for some reason. Bidding the first 3 days of the month off and wait for premium flying is something people tend to do.
