Naw, you don't want that dude. Block sucks, trust me I am a future LAMA. You want the "or better" part. Then go 5 mph (or .63 mach, whichever is slower at your altitude) and fudge the out time as 10 min early, and the in time as 13 late. If the bus has ACARS, MEL it or release the p-brake and hand the paperwork out the window. Half the time it works all the time.
Not only did he lose his job, but he had a battle with the FAA about his certificates. They didn't take kindly to him fudging the times since the maintenance program based checks on flight time.
I know you were joking, but it's not worth it in my opinion to make a few extra bucks.

Before ASA had ACARS, one of our pilots was caught red-handed doing something like that. They suspected it forever but caught him red handed when he called in on short final then had to go around (at the time our contract paid us above guarantee for being early).
