There's a 5 hour buffer on the 100 blk hour every 672 limit that is applied by crew trac.
There is a very minute way and/or chance, if any that you'll fly over 1000 hours blk inside of 365 days to the point where the company will have to buy out the 1 or 2 months remaining, because even if say, you flew 95 hours per month in avg, you would still have a hard time doing that during your 6 month, 9 month and 12month periods where the available days to fly decrease.
The only people that could maybe pull this off are the top 10 guys in the FO seniority list in LA that could bid for, say, 3 specific 31-32 hour 5 days, but by the time you get there you've either already upgraded or prefer the 19 days off.
Furthermore, at least on the Delta side, the trips are way overblocked, so you may start a 95 blk month that will only give you 90.
