Flying on a day off is OT in my mind (though in this case with no premium). And you cannot possibly have training, sick and vacation every month. So you're actually flying about 100/mo and getting conflict credits for the rest? Too much work for me! I prefer to not be constantly trying to create conflicts so my schedule is more firm, but to each his own.

Thanks for the explanation.
