You can grab a trip of ANY length at ANY time during the month and put that time into your bank, ensuring your going to get paid for your original months credit.

It’s a great tool and I can’t see how it’s harmful to the pilot group or the fight for a better contract.
Not to rain on your parade, but I would hope you aren't living paycheck to paycheck anymore, so it really should not matter if a trip is paid into checking or your sick bank.
