You are guaranteed a minimum of of 75 hours of pay. If your flying for the month credits less than that, you get 75 hours. If your flying for the month credits more than that...say 85 hours....then you get paid 85 hours.
There are quite a few ways in which you can get paid more hours than you fly. It's called "soft pay". Different airlines have different ways of doing it. As a result, very few pilots end up with the legal maximum of flight time even though their pay credits are higher.
