No just 100% block, but we do get paid 100% of Scheduled Block which is higher 99.99% of the time than Historic Credit.

BTW our "Block or Better" is actually "Historic Credit or Better" and Historic Credit is the historic average of actually block.

Example:

SFO - FAT is blocked at :59 minutes but our pay for the leg is :55. Now we get the higher of actual block or historic credit (:55) if we work the leg but if we DeadHead we get paid scheduled block or :59 flat. What is nice is that we can cancel the DH and still get paid 100% of the DH. I do this ALL the time.

BTW people historically run this leg (SFO – FAT or LAX – FAT) very fast seeing it's usually the very last leg of their trip. 99% of the time we don't come back to FAT until the last leg of our trip.
