Nope, not at all.

And the topic title just sounds a little pompous.

He’ll fit right in then. That cool and crisp southern Utah air will do it to you.

Does Skywest still have that average block stuff that isn’t block or better?

Yes. It's "credit or better." Credit is derived from some formula based on actual historical block, supposedly. I've seen it rarely be above block, but it's generally a few minutes below block. Occasionally well below block. You still get paid at least what you fly, but instead of the minimum being what UAL/DAL/AA/Alaska advertise, it's some somewhat smaller amount.

To add onto that, company is getting block or better from my understanding. So company is getting paid to pay you for 1.5 hours, but you're only getting a historical credit of 1.3. Company pockets the rest. TFAYD

It's been two days, and when I look at that meme it still makes me crack up lol.

Surfpilot, you made it through a solid apc lashing. Glad you got your job, hope you get your plane. Sounds like you're trying to do your research. The only thing I needed to know when I joined CP was that there would be free snacks. Everything else works itself out. Wish you the best!
