Your first example also holds true at OO.
We are paid the better of block or credit (credit-or-better) and sometimes credit is better than block.
example. The first three legs we would get paid the credit unless our block was greater than the credit, then we would get the "better" block.
It's the 4th leg that has everybody upset and talking about losing money. Unless we actually fly the block we will be paid the historical-average (credit) pay). If you don't have to de-ice or everything runs fine we are getting 4-5% haircut on this leg in this example.
