CRZ, these are 121 operations. They are all on IFR flight plans. Regardless of wx conditions.
=w= said:That's what happens when you have 100kt headwind and want to get home quickly, so you're crusiing along at .78+ when you're planned for .74, then all of a sudden you get to ATL and hold for a bit... I love hearing them whining to dispatch that they had a headwind or had to change altitudes when it's their own darn fault for going as fast as they can go and wasting the fuel away during the 3 hr flight! Holding .74 vs max cruise thrust is 100-200lbs/hr per engine so over 3 hours that adds up to 800-1200lbs of fuel you just pissed away to get there 5 min faster. There's no learnin' some people though.
Which is probably the reason we don't have more diverts here. That taxi fuel becomes a nice addition to C fuel if you S.E. taxi on a busy day in MSP or DTW (or DFW, BOS, DCA, PHL, you know - those RJ destinations).PCL_128 said:I routinely land with several hundred pounds more than planned EFOA because the DX is usually quite liberal with Taxi fuel and such.

Are you smokin' crack? Look at who I work for... they don't know the meaning of "days off".JetPilot_Mike said:Yeah, but he's home more than we are, and probably makes more, to. I'd glady pass up a few beers at work (on proper overnights) to have a lot of time to drink them at home.

Wouldn't that be nice? I think that TRULY is the answer to all our aviation woes: just drug us. That way we won't know how badly we're getting screwed!Tank Commander said:Rich, These are some fragments of some of your post tonight. I'm seeing hidden messages....
