However, despite the clear past practice that allows pilots to credit less than 70 hours in a month, management has threatened to discipline such pilots.”
I don’t know anyone who has tried since so who knows what they would do now.

More on topic, last Feb I didn't like my schedule and gave away the entire month. Training helpfully (not) scheduled me for my recurrent a month early so I did credit about 25ish TFP for the month, but mostly I enjoyed the month off.

As a last resort, I'd bag groceries or deliver pizza before going to Frontier.
