Believe it or not with our IT system, but it's a manual process. Mine showed a positive balance for about 8 months after I depleted it to 0 when I went on disability.

Why would you want to bank pay and give the company a interest free loan while inflation reduces its value to you? When you bank credit you have some protection against inflation via scheduled pay raises, upgrades and new contracts. In fact banked credit can be quite lucrative. When the company signed the new contract the value of my banked credit soared!
In addition The reason we have a pay and credit system and not pay only is also to provide a means to regulate pilot productivity contractually. Doing so increases staffing.
If you want to bank pay only simply put it in a savings account. At least you will earn interest.

I have RRPY hours, and other additional pay hours that take me well above 80 but notEnuf credit to bank anything.

Hello, i know this has been discussed before, but was unable to find it.
on reserve: can you break the 3-99-4 rule at the end of the month leaving 1 day on call only?
want to move 3 ivd days to 28,29,30 leaving 01 as an on call day. I believe that you can before the next month gets published
ty in advance

Just want to reemphasize that the beginning of July is an APD holiday.

Absolutely! One can snag a significant return on hours banked prior to an upgrade/longevity milestone/calendar year raise/category change or even all of the above. It could also be advantageous to defer pay for tax implications or marital status changes. The ability to bank all hours instead of just credit would be phenomenal for those who don’t rely on a steady stream of income and would prefer to maximize long-term return on their work.

Plus you can use the bank to buy vacation days, either to add on to existing vacation to make a large stretch of time off or to have spare vacation days to use for IVD's without having to reduce an awarded 7 day vacation.

maybe the negotiating team would be open to a lower bank threshold? The bank has been a feature of our pay for a LONG time so perhaps some of our -ahem- seasoned posters could educate us why the deposit threshold is so high and also based on credit only rather than actual pay hours.
