The losing money part is up to interpretation (kinda). If “major partner” decide to pad a 60 minute flight by 6 minutes we just took at 10% haircut relative to a block or better airline...or we fly the scheduled block and everyone wins.
(Some) Airlines have been in favor of padding block for better on-time ratings even though padding ground time is the cheaper option.

Mesa used to do that. You got paid the "average" block, regardless of what you flew.
The "average" was determined by throwing out all anomalies like Wx, de-icing, GDP, etc.
Oh and if your leg canx, pay = zero.
So the SKW scheme isn't all that awful. Just do your checklists thoroughly after the brake is dropped and don't taxi dangerously fast. I rarely flew under block, and the company didn't want me to (THEY get paid by the block too...). But don't fly slow in cruise, not worth it.

Aaaand pay talks have begun less than a year later.
Let's get it right this time.

And if they fly under credit they still get the scheduled credit for that leg

That’s it. I’m almost positive the more I read about the 121 world, the dumber about it I get.
It’s comical at this point.
