SW has an "interesting" pay system basing everything on a DAL-HOU "trip."

MarkerInbound,

Yep, that rings a bell. I recall they paid $X based on a "trip" of 50 minutes block time (DAL-HOU-SAT). But, they only paid $X if that 50 minute trip took 50 minutes...or 2 hours. Not sure where it went from there as the years passed. Still a great company. I've followed and applauded their success over the decades.
