Maybe a system where you get PB days if your credit is under 75 and then once you hit 75 hours credit you get 2X pay for a GS without the PB days would work. I understand the issue if you are not getting credit in return for PB days, but when you credit over 75 hours then get 1X pay for a GS it's just working on your day off instead of your regular reserve day for nothing extra.
