MAG pays based on "historical block"

"Block or better" means this:

Block: the scheduled time to get from point A-B.
Historical Block: the 6-month average to get from A-B
...or better: the actual time it takes to release the brake at A and set it at B, if it takes longer than the Block.

MAG does not have ACARS so yes, most pilots I have met fudge the out/in like crazy. Despite this, there are often times that you get stuck in a ground stop or a holding patten that takes you WAAAAAY beyond the block. You WILL NOT get paid for this time at MAG. I don't think I am being clear: you will FLY FOR FREE at some point during your run at MAG due to some enroute delay that takes you beyond the block. YOU WILL FLY FOR FREE. Are we clear on that point? Is this message getting through to anyone?

Now, I can't count the times I have been in JFK sitting in line (#80 for takeoff or something ridiculous). My round trip pay has run out on several occasions before LEAVING to go to the out station. THEN, to add insult to injury, legs at the end of my trip start to fall off because of 30/7 issues WITHOUT PAY PROTECTION.

Yea, come to MAG. We're hiring, it's a hoot!
