By the way if it is a VFR day you probably are not going to get close to the marketing block. Combine this with the new latency push and having to wait until you get a push clearance to block out and we are taking it in the shorts on credit right now. (credit or better costs me about 3-5 hours a month, or about a 5% pay cut over industry standard)
So there is this thing called bid transparency at Skywest that allows you to look at what everyone in every base was awarded. You either misunderstood your friend, he is the worst bidder in the world, or you are just making stuff up. I skimmed through the bids in both CA and FO MSP and DTW for March and I saw like 3 lines that had more block than credit, and we are talking like 1-2 hours. Actually, most awarded lines have like 70 block and over 90 credit. So I have no idea what you are talking about.
