I am on reserve, and am aware that once within 3:75hrs of 75hrs I can call scheduling between 1600-2200 on the day prior of my block of days on, and either be released or paid 3.75hrs for each day on. Here is my question, I just checked my pay register, and I have a LV of 55:58. I also have DH of 15:20. Even though it only says my LV is 55:58, dont I add the DH time to that for a total of 71:18? OR would my LV need to reach 71:15 reguardless of my DH to be released/paid? Thanks!!

DH is (should be) counted in your line value. I would give scheduling a call to make sure they are aware that you are above the magic number. Last month I called and they made it sound that the 3.75 add pay was automatic whether we call or not but it will take a few days after the end of the month for it to show up. They send a list of affected Reserve pilots to payroll on the 1st of the month and only then will your pay register show the added pay. I think I saw it around the 3rd of this month.

In years past there had been a problem with Reserve line values not reflecting DH time. I'm not sure if that's still the case now as they were working on a fix but the problem still popped up from time to time. It's always worth following up with a phone call to scheduling, if not eventually payroll.
