Conversely, if I pulled out 10 hours out as a $225/hr Captain, I would have an extra $2250.00 of pay. If I were...say...displaced and put it back in as a $150/hr FO, I would only forego $1500 of earnings to replenish that which originally gave me $2,250.

If I now repay those hours as a $225/hr Captain, I am foregoing $2,250.00 of current pay to make the deposit, which, it would seem, results in a net loss of $750 in the overall scheme of things.

It was what I needed at the time and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The fact that some get all wrapped around the numerical calculations is beside the point. The fact is that some of us go negative, and others stay positive for long stretches of time. Use the bank to your personally-defined good use and forget the rest.
Personally anytime I'm over 80 credit (nearly impossible to do in a CQ or VAC month without killing yourself) I shove every minute I can into the bank. The QOL flexibility is nice to have, and as someone else pointed out, it's a lot easier to get time out of the bank than to put it in.

Don't worry, I can guarantee that, when you retire, your bank balance will be zero before you get your last check!

Need a refresher, does the new pay day begin with block-in at 0230?
