1000 hours of service per fiscal year (you mean 1000 CH??) means a pilot making guarantee every month wouldn't hit that. 8*68 + 4*85 = 884. Typical RLGs for the the last few months would not break 1000 (8*74 + 94*4 = 968).
What am I missing?

I think when he's talking about credit (whatever credit is required to make 1,000 hours of credit), he actually isn't referring to credit hours of pay. In fact, I believe that credit hours worked are irrelevant to how much "credit" you get. It's confusing.

This really doesn't make any sense, unless I'm completely misunderstanding what you're saying. First, if you're getting 95 credit hours PER paycheck (so 190 CH per month), that's amazing.

This conversion standard of 95 hours per pay period has implications in classifying if one is a full time employee; it also is used in workman's comp calculations.
There are a lot of federal and state laws that are written in regards to typical work weeks and this conversion factor ties in our non-traditional work patterns.

He is talking about credits for a good year for retirement. You earn 95 credits per pay period and need 1000 credits to get a good year for retirement. It runs on the fiscal year from 1 June to 31 May. Somewhere in the Pilot Benefit Book it refers to the credits as "hours."
PBB page R-6.
Confirmed my previous comment with ALPA R&I several months ago. This also has implications for retirement timing/vesting.

Was able to drop my entire month with the idea of getting drafted later. Well, nothing very enticing has come my way (I guess we wet leased enough jets for peak this year), so I'm debating whether to just stay home and make it up later. My question for the experts is other than not getting a pay check next month, is there anything else I need to be aware of for taking the whole month off.
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!
