We regularly DH on other carriers and only get pay based on scheduled block regardless of how long the flight actually takes. I've spent over two hours in the back of a CRJ in the penalty box in ORD completely unpaid because the scheduled block was only 1 hour. So, 45 minutes of pay for 3.5 hours in the back of a CRJ. To add a little salt to the wound, I was removed from my turn out of ORD because of how late we arrived at the gate. No pay protection for that plus a 3+ hour sit before flying off to my reduced rest overnight. This was well before part 117 was even a dream.
