Change in terms

Am I the only one who has noticed a subtle change in the wording of the FCI regarding flight pay. Normally the EK lawyer types are onto these things like a heyena after a smelly bone. The original letter from AAR stated:
Introduction of hourly Flying Pay – Flying pay will be paid for all actual block hours commencing from “1 hour” up to the level of “Productivity Pay Threshold”
The FCI issued to ammend the FOM says:
• General
◊ Hourly Flying Pay is based on scheduled block hours and is applicable up to the thresholds detailed below.
Is this a typo or yet another subtlle "cost neutral" change. I defy anyone to be able to conduct JFK-HAM within the scheduled block time. Oh well wasn't going to but will just have to fly faster.
