Vacation Pay is not listed as “Credit” on one’s time card but it does count towards the GS trigger. How much credit you have in a month determines your Max pickup (or how much you can white slip). The amount of credit you have for the determines whether you can deposit hours to the Full Service Bank or pay back negative bank.

When something is classified as “pay, no credit” it just means you will be paid for that amount. You cannot put it in the Full Service Bank or pay back a negative bank with it.

When talking about a specific trip, there are many kinds of “credit.” Deadhead, Trip, ADG etc. Trip credit is always applied on the last day of the trip. Deadhead is paid on the day flown. I should know but am not sure about ADG.

Very nice explanation, sir. ADG is like trip credit (1:3.5) and is paid at the end of the rotation if that is the the controlling credit driving pay for the rotation. Duty rig (1:2), like block time and DH time, is paid on the day accrued.

Very helpful explanation! If you ever get bored during your early retirement, maybe you can come back and mentor new hires :D

Thanks! I thought that was the case for ADG but just wasn’t 100 percent sure. I forgot about the Duty Rig. That has come into play for me a couple times in last few months.

Remember the ol' shortened layover 1:2?? THAT was a good deal. Cha-ching!

Denny, that was a great explanation! Almost four years at Delta and for the first time I think I actually understand what credit means. They really need to have two different terms to differentiate the two types of credit we have. I hope you'll still come by occasionally and visit us on the forums after you retire! :)
