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.
Just curious, do they use historic block or scheduled block in determining your flight time limitations?
By the way, at XJT its 100% block or better on CAL only (and the charter guys get to keep their miles). We can also get released and paid for 100% of block if the DH is at the beginning or end of a pairing.
