Standby Pay (Sections 8.N.1. & 4.) 

➢ A Standby Reserve who reports to the airport and does not fly during the duty period will receive a minimum credit of five (5) hours and per diem for flight time limitations and pay purposes. 

➢ A Standby Reserve who reports to the airport and actually flies will receive 1/2 pay and flight time credit for the Standby time in addition to any assigned flight time credit. This is referred to as “pairing from Standby” credit and is displayed in the Master Schedule and Pay Register as PSB. Time spent on Standby is calculated from report time to one hour prior to the scheduled departure time of an assigned pairing.

• Example: A Reserve who reports for Standby at 0700 is later given a flight assignment with a 1000 departure. The 1-day trip is worth 5:45. The Reserve receives 1/2 credit for the 2:00 hours spent on Standby prior to the assignment in addition to the actual flight time of the assignment for a total of 6:45.
