Do a month of reserve and enjoy! Almost every time I'd get tagged with a turn, they add more and everything they add ends up paying premium. My favorite so far was 3 day reserve block, flew 7 hours block, paid 26.05... Another 3 day block I did, I ended up flying 11, paid 33.20...
If we could ELITT reserve blocks, I'd bid reserve...

Wait, they added on a turn to the end of your reserve block? They're not supposed to do that. Or is it just JA they can't do?
As long as you're not in DAL reserve might be a good deal right now. DAL folks get tagged for seat support in the sim - a jeopardy event. Yikes!

No, they initially assigned me an easy trip on day 1 and then kept adding on flying. Cha-ching!

While the RSV work rules definitely need some tweaking, Reserve is now quite lucrative. To the point that I wonder if it will change the way we have historically used Reserves? It seems like the last several months there will be a random day or two that I go unused, despite there being a plethora of trips I would be good for. This was SOP under the old rules in an attempt to keep Reserves right around their guarantee for the month, while now it makes no difference from a pay standpoint since we are "Pay Per Day".

I was used every day on reserve in march. Did 125tfp without picking up. On a blank line this month that originally was 108tfp I am now projected at 142 picking up 1 day and having been rerouted every trip this month so far. A 3 day and a 4 day to go to get rerouted some more. Hoping to break 150tfp

Yeah it's interesting to see what they do. Last trip my last day was delayed so much, don't know why, that instead of giving me an unscheduled overnight they rerouted me into 2 PP legs as well as at least 2 other guys to cover my original flight. How can that be cheaper than paying me 6.5 tfp? That 2 legs reroute paid me an additional 4tfp alone
