1) Attract pilots who are interested in regionals, and have choices (pretty much all pilots these days).
2) Prevent new-hires from leaving for other regionals.
After a year or two, nobody in their right mind is going to leave for another regional, and nobody in their right mind is going to NOT leave for a major if the get a call (regardless of bonus amount).

B. We are not the only historical block regional.
C. 2% is the accepted average figure.

DAL prefers TPIC, and nobody know what AS prefers, except they don't seem to prefer QX FO's.

A. I see this once in every 10-15 flights and it is rarely by more that 4 minutes
B. the only other airlines I know of that have anything other that B.O.B. are 9E and YX and I believe they have protections so it is not as much of a loss ( not quite sure but the 9E people I talk to think it is much closer to marketing block that ours is) If I am wrong i'm happy to learn about it.
C. I think 5% is a much better average. In my past 4 months(except March) the difference between Block or Credit during the PBS award( keeping all other rules in place) was about 4-5 hours on a high 80's - low 90's hr line. my next pairing the difference is 1.7 hours on a 4 day. I have seen pairings in open time where the difference was almost 4 hours on a 4 day out of ORD.

But just looking at trips in open time, it is extremely rare to find a trip that ever credits more than block. To the other extreme I had found a trip that credited 21% less than marketing block.
