Pay and Credit is very oddly/awkwardly named at Delta.
RES, which I usually do, GS's pay only single pay above RES guarantee, but there's no trigger and you get your days off back, and then sometimes a bit more.
remember you can pull from the bank, even go into the negative, to reach the trigger if you get a greenie. I think up to 5 hours
