While we are on the topic I have always been a little confused between pay and credit and I haven't been able to read a good definition of credit in the PWA or Scheduling Reference Handbook, would someone mind clarifying it?


Pay is obvious. It's what you get paid for a trip the highest of your actual block time, your average daily guarantee or the trip rig (1 for 3.5 TAFB) or duty rig (1 for 2 FDP).


Credit I've always understood it to be the amount of time that applies to PWA sections such as reserve guarantee and green slip triggers etc. However I'm not sure I understand the difference between credit shown on the rotation and credit applied to the PWA sections. Also I know that on a carry out paring credit is paid in the following month. I'm not sure I understand the differences between the types of credit. Can someone explain the different types of credit and the difference between pay and credit more clearly?


I'm kind of embarrassed that I don't have a good understanding of something so critical to our pwa.
