Monthly Pay Protections For Reserves
By Stacy Jassek, MEC Reserve Chairperson

Monthly Pay (5.E.)
For all pay and flight time credit purposes, Reserves will always be credited with a minimum of 75 hours per month, even if flown less (assuming they were available every Reserve day) (Section 5.E.).
A Reserve is paid an additional $1.82/hr. for each hour of credited flight time for the month earned while on Reserve status (Section 5.D.) A Flight Attendant receiving a mid-month Move-Up Line will only receive Reserve override pay for those hours accrued while being on Reserve status.
Stand-By Pay Protections (10.G.)
While ONSB, Reserves receive 1/2 pay and FTM credit in addition to all other pay protections (Section 10.G.1.).
EXAMPLE: Reports as stand-by Reserve at 0700. Given flight assignment for 1000 departure. Flies 4:45 and released from duty at 1700. Total DTM (0700 to 1700) is 10:00; entitles the Reserve to 5:00 minimum pay and credit. BUT 4:45 FTM plus 1:00 (1/2 of the 2:00 standby time, from standby report to ID check-in at 0900) equals 5:45. The Reserve would get 5:45 pay and credit.
