No. Surf Air pilots have a cabin jumpseat agreement on Virgin. 

Pilots are paid $125 per day during training (1099 contract status) until successful completion of the checkride

Monthly Pay Guarantee for Line Holders:  72 hours
Monthly Pay Guarantee for Reserves: 72 hours

Minimum Pay per day guarantee: 4 hours

Reserve Details:  System Reserve (SR) and Base Reserve (BR) Duty Periods each carry four (4) hours pay credit. SR and BR pilots assigned any company duty during reserve periods will be credited four (4) ahours or the scheduled block hours of assigned flying, whichever is greater.

Reserve days will be built into your schedule as is currently being done. A reserve day is still worth 4 hours and days may be filled in to bring a pilot's schedule up to 72 hours for the month.

Two calendar days prior you will be assigned a start time for your reserve shift and will be on call for a total of 12 hours. If assigned a trip toward the end of your reserve shift your total duty day may be longer than 12 hours, however, you will not be on call for more than 12 hours.

All pilots will be paid "block or better" per duty period.  If at the end of the day your actual total block is greater than the scheduled block, you will be compensated for the greater of the two.
