Not to mention when everyone does that all the time, the historical block time averages drop and then it becomes harder to do it. Eventually even "airspeed alive" taxis, 250 til the marker and all the shortcuts in the world won't get you under block very often, and the company needs fewer pilots to fly the same schedule. #biwinning

Reminds me of my first job.
My Boss would come into my office, pass a silent but deadly, then run back to his office just as the stink wafted across the room and call on the intercomm to enquire, "hey, did I leave something in there?"
We had a babe of a secretary who must have thought I ate smoked Oysters with Collard Greens for breakfast.

I always thought Delta management would have been smart to pay minutes under as pay no credit on top of the normal pay. If you were scheduled for 2 hours and came in 15 minutes under block you got 2 hours pay and credit and 15 minutes straight pay. I bet they would see a dramatic reduction in block times and save a bunch of money not to mention need fewer pilots. Delta pilots would however soon have the same rep as SW pilots for cutting corners to save time. Hopefully as pilots we would be smart enough to see past the extra cash and refuse such a deal however there would be a lot of guys who would love it.

Delta Air Lines has a Japan problem • 2:25 PM
• Wolfe Research sees some turbulence for Delta Air Line (DAL -1.3%) in Japan and its big bet on Seattle as a gateway to Asia.
• The company got caught short when the Japanese government opened up the downtown Tokyo airport to U.S. airlines which lessened the value of its Narita hub. That impact keeps getting worse.
• The carrier is also quarreling with Asian partner Korean Air, while rivals United Continental and American Airlines strike more strategic deals in the region.
• Delta is also more susceptible than other U.S. airliners to a weak yen.
