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.
