The 5%-7% is a number that someone decided sounds good. Don't get me wrong, it's stupid that we don't get true Block or Better, but lets not embellish the situation. Our Historical Credit model is almost verbatim in the PPM to what 9E has in their CBA (they call them SAT's--Scheduled Average Time or something).

My point to everyone is this: As much as pilots (including myself) love to complain, it's easy for us to make the case that we work at the worst hell hole on earth.
Be wary of the bold statements.
