It basically uses your credit from the past 8 months plus 3 months of future credit (assumes 82 hours for future months) to figure out what you can fly the next month (credit counting towards IMAX includes flying but not premium, vacation, training, dropping a trip to be paid out for it with future vacation, and sick time, plus some others?)

So if you can start with 1 low month to trick the system into letting you fly more, and then credit for 7 months near 90, then bump the credit to 140+ for 2 months, the next 2 months will be pretty much duds since it assumes you’re crediting 82 the next 3. So the people that love to maximize will then fly premium over those off months since it doesn’t count towards IMAX.

This is all based on a 12 month rolling max of 1080.


Probably more confused now.
