I would assume the Bureau gets their information from each air carrier.
Come on man. LOOK AT THE DATA!!! It shows e145 block hours going from 800,000 in 2012 to 350,000 in 2013... which throws the block hour costs right out the window. Those numbers you are referring to aren't official, are using incomplete data, and some of those numbers are proprietary (requiring non-disclosure agreements from individual companies) and are probably a simple math formula off of reported revenues in SEC filings... which again doesn't tell you anything.
