All GDO flying is on top of guarantee.
So for a 737 FO you will gross $61 per hour * 61 hours for guarantee = $3721 for your base pay.
Lets say you pick up a two day trip on your GDOs. You show at 0700z, or 0200 local, do one leg to MCI for 1:46 of block, and then are released at 1046z for 13:44 of rest. The next day(that night, local) you report at MCI at 0030z, do two legs back to CVG, block 2:08, and are released at 0518z.
Your block has earned you $238, but as the trip was on GDOs you also earn $488 in GDO pay. Which you will see on you end of month paycheck, the following month.

Not really. At a scheduled carrier, you may start on reserve with 12 days off, but as you move up and hold a line you could end up with 15 or more days off. At Southern you'll get 11. No more, ever. So its like you're already trading four or five days off, just to get to guarantee. Yes, 4 hours is better than 1.5 when you have low block time, but its nothing compared to Atlas getting 12 hours plus block on their fourth GDO. And they have three more days off to start with.
