The language is in the APFA/AA Restructuring Agreement, Article 3.W: "A flight attendant shall be credited for pay purposes, based upon actual flight time on a leg-by-leg basis."

Here's how it works as I understand it. Suppose an FA bids a monthly schedule worth 74 hours flying time (70 hours is new base pay guarantee for domestic flying). Over the course of the month, eight of FAs legs arrive 15 minutes early for a total of two hours reduced flying time versus what FA actually bid. FA gets paid for the 72 hours actually flown instead of the 74 FA originally bid.
Old contract language guaranteed FA the full 74 hours. New contract pays what was actually flown.
But I was wrong in assuming FAs could cause delays. They're cited for causing late departures/arrivals and could ultimately lose their job for unnecessary delays. Pilots still get their bid guarantees so AA should still get there on time.
