They don't get paid block, they get paid AVERAGE block, which is a fraudulent number generated by company managers...those abnormally high block times due to wx or ATC or whatever that would tend to drive the average up always seemed to get "modified" in their computer. So the "average" block is really an average of low to middle block times. The computer times are so far off from the actual times recorded by pilots that many guys are starting to keep spreadsheets comparing the two values for every leg. I'm assuming this is going to blow up in the companies face eventually (one can always hope).

Then there a bunch of dumb@asses who fly as fast as they can because they are not paid actual block...but this just drives the average even lower.

Throw in the inevitable mx cancellations, and most pilots get paid guarantee: 76 x their hourly rate plus per diem. No duty, daily, or trip rigs.

Glad to hear SKW is holding firm on the 1000/100. EDIT: Guess not, according to Burt
