If your whole month cancels you still get your min of 75hrs. Not 70.

Yes you are correct. That was a bad example on my part.

I've been here through april and had two canceled. No real biggie though. I fly mach .6 most the time so I usually get it back.

ahhhh yes...30/7 speed....good man..good man. i hate flying with CA's that always fly at red line, get on the ground 20 min early just to wait for a gate

only the really horrible companies to work for don't get paid block or better

What do you consider SWA?

Not exactly correct. The first 11 minutes in a way are free to the company, but after that we get .1 TFP for each 5 minutes over block. So it is pretty much block or better.

I understand where you are coming from, but that is part of the problem with the system. I had the same picture as you once as an FO. It wasn't until I became a Captain that I started to see why that logic is flawed. I would rather spend my time on the ground waiting for a gate than clog the system up. I do remember squeezing every last dollar out of my schedule as an FO at CHQ. 17.96 an hour, 50% deadhead, and no cx pay didn't go very far, but at least we had left over snack boxes back then to help on the food front.

Why not just install hobb meters so u can say"lets do that manuever again this time to the right" all while watching that little clock turn. I have to admit that does sux about mx cx but at least u get min guarantee. I bet that prevents a lot of people from picking up open time...

Me too! God it sucks when they do that. Get out 10 early then drag her in the sky all the way there. Average daily overblock is about 1hr15-1hr45 min.

There's a way to ease the congestion. Just ask ATC if you can pull it back. Only going into the biggest class B's have I had them ask to please keep it up. If they say, "Sure, own speeds" you better believe I'm not breaking .6. I thought about getting a sticker with "<.6 club" on it made lol. Makes me more, saves fuel a little too.
