True, but policy or not, stupidity is not something I'll adhere to.

I know you can't officially do that for DHL, but it might be something to take a look at.

What's the deal with this? We don't have any DHL Metro runs, so I haven't heard about it. I know they keep track of fuel consumption pretty close, but how do they know what power settings you're using? And if you're using something that's more efficient (saving them $$$), what do they care? Just curious in case I ever cover a DHL run in the Metro. Wouldn't want to get in trouble for not burning enough fuel...

The reduced power settings were supposed to be a fuel/money saving measure because of the difficulty in passing on fuel surcharges to UPS (who incidentaly have no qualms about passing it onto their customers!).

My point with the DHL runs is they pay a dry rate for the aircraft, so unless the customer states that we should try and save them money by using such a power setting, then it should be 105% on the reactor/warp speed Mr. Sulu!

Aye Cap'n, i've given ya all she can handle, she can't take no more! P.S., just file for 250, that way you'll climb all the way until you start descent, you can't use the lower power setting if you never go to cruise right?

Doing the jepps in the bro sucks! It takes about 5-6 hours sometimes, altho Mr. B has that stuff down he can have a book done in 1 flight

Not as much as doing the revisions and paying for the service. Every year those maggots at Jeppesen jack up the price of my subscription, oh wait-that's covered by my yearly pay raise, I feeling better now-NOT!

I still have my south central subscription and definitely think that the guys doing national jepp revisions every couple of weeks are on the short end of the stick. I don't care that they get it for free. It truly sucks.

I heard a rumor that AMF was going to go to a paperless cockpit setup to help all of the weary pilots out! on a side note it'll be here when we get the current crop of planes that don't have enough cycles to be considered freighters yet and the technology is so cheap it's not cost effective for the previous owners to rip it out.
