I agree with Nu, I never knew anyone that did BOB and I think lots of guys misunderstand what it was.

What we lost in the bankruptcy contract was block or better (BOB) per leg. What we got was BOB per TRIP. Now, where that comes into play is, say, you have a return to the gate on day one of your trip that gained you say 20 minutes. What you would see would be a slow but sure loss of that time as you underflew legs.

Now, to underfly means the block times were big and NWA had big blocktimes for their on time rate. Personally, I like big block times cuz I like being paid for doing nothing and more importantly making my commuter flight.

So, please, if your going to bash us about BOB (somewhat an urban legend)..........know what you're talking about.
