You would then make PM from early year 2 through Feb year 4. The only disadvantage of this (vs the proposed idea) is that you are not PM from late year 1 to early year 2.

The advantage is that it would actually work.
Depending on what they claw back, you also get the PM and DM bonuses both years, as well as the status for longer.
