1/30 of your guarantee for the month for every day. The best way to maximize your money is to work on your days off and don't put in mil leave. Obviously a flexible Reserve unit is easier to work with. If you put in mil leave, provide your paperwork (tp's, uta's, orders) so your B fund gets funded for the days you lose.
All of this is how it worked at CAL. I assume it's probably the same now at UAL. Anybody else feel free to correct me if something has changed.

Your MPG is prorated down by 4.2 hours/day for B (short call) or 4 hours/day for A (long call) reserves for each day of mil duty you do on reserve days. (1/18th of your MPG)
You may also take a travel day(s) on either side of mil duty to ensure you are in position (and properly rested) for duty.
To get off probation, you must have 165 work days in addition to 12 bid periods, which averaged out to about 14 days/month.

Also, don't forget to provide your monthly LES to the CPO to get the B-fund credit deposited into your account. I just discovered that I have over 2 years of no B-fund due to the old office worker not putting it in while I was out on orders for 1.5 years. Really frustrating but I'm getting the money put in and it's a good amount.

I'm sure this is in the contract but let me ask you guys...say you have a 4 day , 20 hr trip departing on Sunday. You have to be at drill that Sunday, so you enter one day mil leave into the system and then that trip gets dropped from your schedule. Do we get 16% of that one day's pay or 16% of the whole trip's pay put into our B fund? Just curious.

Ahh a good contention point that some interpret differently. You get b fund contributions based on income and "work days." You should get the B money for all days available. In your case you are available after your 1 mil day and thus you should get the money.
The new CPO policy this summer was if you drop one mil day and it cancels a whole four day they can give the other days as Reserve days and you can still work. Most the time in the summer or around holidays they try this.
Unlike me, watch your contributions every month and you shouldn't have a problem.

I am sitting Long Call this next reserve stint. Assuming I do not get converted to Short Call, with a release time on the last day of 1000 since I have mil leave the next day, what is the earliest I can hop a flight home? 1000? Reason I ask is that if the earliest report time on LC is 12 or 13 hrs after contact, can I hop an early AM flight home, since it is Mil leave/Imm Day off next day? Do I need to call scheduling for release? Would they be able to do anything with me on LC the morning of last day with 1000 release?
