Iceman-
That is not correct. You were finished when you were within 4:15 (min day) of the monthly max. Pre-BK, the monthly max was normally 80 hours, so you would be done when you got to 75:46 for the month. The company had a limited abilility to flex above 80 in a given month (up to 84, if I remember correctly). You would then have to be within 4:15 of the higher monthly max, but the reserve guarantee also increased above 75 hours.
After BK, the reserve max was set at 88 hours, so you had to fly to 83:46 to be done for the month.
