From the web site......

How to calculate your flight’s departure in metric time:

Take your departure time in 24-hour time. Represented as HR:MIN.
Multiply the HR by 60.
Add the MIN.
Take the total and divide by 1.44.
(HR x 60) + MIN = X / 1.44 = New metric flight time (in milliminutes)

Sample calculation:

5:42 pm = 17:42

(17 x 60) + 42 = 1062 / 1.44 = 737 milliminutes

The math problem makes me wonder if they will change the name of the company to Common Core Airlines.

They got it slightly wrong. Is really 737 milli Day, not milli Minutes. Other than that it's perfectly sensible.
