1000 hours of service per fiscal year (you mean 1000 CH??) means a pilot making guarantee every month wouldn't hit that. 8*68 + 4*85 = 884. Typical RLGs for the the last few months would not break 1000 (8*74 + 94*4 = 968).

What am I missing?
He is talking about credits for a good year for retirement. You earn 95 credits per pay period and need 1000 credits to get a good year for retirement. It runs on the fiscal year from 1 June to 31 May. Somewhere in the Pilot Benefit Book it refers to the credits as "hours."
