Not really, it's a temporary thing on the A350 due to work rules and pilots displaced for training sectors who can then pick up more overtime sectors to get displaced on.

From the sister Airline Pilot Central forums an American Airlines pilot comments:
You guys need to pull your head out of your proverbial a$s prior to section 6. Go ask a Delta A350 pilot. They have FOs crediting over 260 hours of pay credit for the month. Green slip. Green slip with conflict. Do the math. Apparently they have some captains that broke 100k in a month.
