While I agree that it is nice, I don't think that should be able to be done. Maybe it's just my work ethic, but I believe you should work to be paid, not get paid not to work.
The whole point of being an airline pilot is to have high credit low flight hours.
The closer you are to 1:1 flight to credit hours, the worse your contract is.
