For example, how does this work for military? The average ANG or Reservist needs 6 days a month to do the one weekend a month/two weeks a year plus training periods. Military being on reserve cannot makeup credit with 11-12 days off to reach 70 hours again after taking military leave. A lineholder might, but then they are working doubly hard, and loosing time off just to be on par pay with the rest of the pilot group. Loosing a set credit for time off is much more fair with an appropriate hourly rate than this goofy conditional lump sum payments junk.

Is there a clause to help military, or was this completely overlooked? What about a commuter who misses reserve days? There are probably other conditions I am not aware of that can cause people to dip below 70 against their will or control. Thoughts?
