Is that add pay or credit to line value? The reason I ask is because if it's part of your line value then this whole discussion comes back to staffing. If United is staffed high enough that they are even entertaining assigning field standby then it stands to logic that it is highly unlikely that anyone will be breaking guarantee that month. Hence, the 5 hours of pay is meaningless.

True, however if the company were ever to even assign Field Standby it would be during a month that they were fat on staffing. In my experience, when there are lots of reserves, it is rare to make above guarantee. In fact, in your scenario, UAL could give a reserve 8 FB's for 40 hours credit, assign another 30 hours of flying, and the reserve still wouldn't break guarantee.

Name calling would be me saying, You Joe Peck.. are an *******. Or an Idiot, or a combination of both.
That is "name calling".
I merely stated that a "new"poster was defending the TA. Always interesting when people who have never posted come on here and all of a sudden get involved in the discussion.
Guess you can't read or understand English. Then again, doesn't surprise me as you don't seem to be able to comprehend the Negatives and give backs in this TA>

been out of the bag here at UAL at least since I was hired 15 years ago. I have been on RSV for the last 6 years, been assigned a handful of them. 4 hr sit at the airport, then you go home. flight must depart within 5 hrs of your start time. Easy. AND I rarely have been used.

Again, it's really not of value to the company unless they overstaff. I would much rather another Captain's slot be available to me that requires me to sit a bit of Field Standby than for it not be available. And I would much prefer that a junior FO spot be available that means i have to sit Field Standby than find myself furloughed while the Company stretches reserves to the limit.
