Just a couple of thoughts, but everything is legal until it is challenged.
This has been done pretty much to death on other threads. Yes it is legal (and has been challenged many times without success) because Flying pay is a retention measure and if you PVR you are not being retained therefore you (rightly) lose a portion of that pay.
