No need for the SkyWest hate anymore either. United is pulling your strings now. And apparently, they don't like you guys.

I believe it’s called “scheduled average time”, not block or better.

On the CRJ side, normal flight plan speeds are .74/200 and .77/700&900
Again, depending on ATC and whether we’re early, late or whatnot.

290 knots in the climb, transition to .80 or faster if the bird will do it (I once did get a -200 that would do .85, which was kinda impressive -- most of them can't do much more than .76 or .77), then barber pole in the descent. I know not of this "cost index" you speak of...
If you ain't clackin', you slackin'!!!

That is a impressive accomplishment in a deuce! You don’t have to worry about it clacking until you are into the first red square. Gotta love the CDO life: it’s not a job, it’s an adventure!
