As for CNX pay, it can be skewed. For example, say you have a round trip, and on the flight out, you do 2 gate returns and eventually cancel. Say the 2 gate returns total block was higher than the block going there, you only get the scheduled block for the round trip.

Example (fake block times):

DTW - CVG: Blocked at 1:05
CVG - DTW: Blocked at 1:25

Say on leg 1, you do 2 gate returns that equal 1:35 (1:00 and 0:35). You would think that your total pay would be 3:00 (1:35 and 1:25 for the cancelled leg). Wrong, it will be 2:30 because they count the 1st gate return as leg 1, and the second gate return as leg 2, the return trip.
Hope that makes sense.
This is wrong for cancellation pay. Gate returns are not counted as a leg. You would get 1:35 for the first leg (2 gate returns) and 1:25 for the cancelled leg. We have won this numerous times. This is for the CRJ contract.
