True, the company is making bank off of both ends. There is the fuel savings and then then they make more if the crew comes in under credit. Because they’re paid by block time. That’s why many try to maximize block so it at least comes up to scheduled credit. You mentioned Comair, it’s true that they also flew slow and used the CI. But that was the end of it. Their ground operations were normal, and I’m pretty sure they didn’t fly slower than the planned speed because they didn’t have to maximize block. They received scheduled credit or block, whichever was highest. You may remember several years ago when the FAA stepped in with an emergency mandate with minimum airspeeds for Skywest because of an excessive amount of low speed events (stalls). Some of these events wouldn’t have happened if the company paid like the rest of the industry because there wouldn’t be the need to push the envelope.
