This is true. Happened to me just the other day. Not an emergency but a Return to field.

Not really - ORD to MSN blocked at 1:00 credits say 0:52...
inflight emergency return to ORD - there is no historical block time for ORD to ORD - so you get paid block. if it takes 2:00 you get paid 2:00
say you fly ORD to MSN - hold for weather at MSN and finally get in late after 2:00 of flying you get paid 0:52.

Ha. Yeah right. Cant go the other way? For the short time I was at Mesa I always got a line that was 85+ hours. But the only thing is after CX flights and weather, I never broke guarantee. I used to want to kill sitting in line at LGA or IAD knowing the leg was credit for 1:00 but already having sat there for an hour, I was now flying for free.
And I wonder why I left.

That's a step in the right direction I suppose...but most of the rest of us can call in sick, and still get pay protected.

On another note, I can imagine how productive contract talks are going.
COMPANY: We're bankrupt.
PILOTS: Give us money.
COMPANY: We're bankrupt.
PILOTS: Give us overdue money.

I am by no means senior and got 16 off this month and will have 103 credited for the month with holiday pay. Something to think about.....
I tell everyone, you dont have to put up with Mesa's BS. There is life after.....
*edit to add*
I am by no means trying to bust your chops, I'm really not. I have a few friends still at Mesa and they tell me whats up all the time. I just feel bad that you guys still have to put with all that stuff.... I really do.
True story - since I have left Mesa, people comment to me all the time, asking if I was sick or something before, cause I look and act different now. The only thing that has changed is the fact that I left that place and it was like a 1000 pound gorilla off my back....
