Just to be clear. If you are below the trigger, a GS will be single pay and credit until you reach the trigger, and double pay no credit once you reach the trigger. And as gunfighter said you can take 5 hours out of the bank to count towards the trigger.
For example, assume a trigger of 70 hours. If you are at 60 hours of credit and fly a 20 hour GS, 10 hours will count towards the trigger and 10 hours will be double pay no credit and you will get a total of 90 hours. If you take 5 out of the bank, 5 of the GS will count towards the trigger and 15 will be double pay no credit for a total of 100 hours.
