You're ATL 88 which has been slow... so yes, you will get paid 70 hours every month for the most part. That is not universally true though.
The past couple months I've been at 70 because I really enjoy my weekends off and usually have stuff planned, but prior to that with very little extra effort I was cranking out 90+.

What I want to know is why reserves don't get paid the credit time in a rotation?

So, I haven't gotten around to reading that 1100 pg PDF FTB recommended on DALPA site, but why is it that RES pilots can not pick up any time on days off to help out other brothers/sister's in a time of need? I know I'm new and a little naive (not in judgement).

Unless you're ACL65 "I credit 90-110 hours a month every month" pilot.

BTW I'm not crazy it's just that I was commuting from SFO to ATL to sit long call so why not fly. Moving to ATL next month so I can be like FTB and sit long call in my underwear on the couch

I think FL allowed reserve pilots to pick up trips though. but I guess the thought is if the trip is never picked up then it will go to a reserve pilot anyways. The other thought is if you want weekends off on reserve you could just pick up weekday trips and have a conflict or a raw score that kept you from having to fly on the weekend- therein giving you a line that senior pilots holding lines couldn't get. The last part is, a majority of the airline are line holders and the system is weighted towards line holders such that yes there may be a time in need but you getting that trip keeps someone from getting that trip at double pay. They get trips covered because line holders are more then willing to show up 45 minutes after they were called for premium pay.
