#1 management is cheap(can be said for any company)
#2 fuel in zfd? Is dear(why would you pay the price for fuel in a remote station)
#3 unsure but they probably use the jepps or apg charts. They run a winter road (ice) from stoney all the way to UCity, fairly sure anything (heavy) goes by truck
#4 low temps make for better performance
Used to go in and out of there 10 times a week, during the summer reduced loads, below 10c we were pretty much mgtow
Also Im pretty sure that ww used to stop at least once (ypa)on the return if not twice(ysf)
So why would you need all that fuel?. I think this is simply an issue of weather surface contamination/engine icing

Because these aircraft are operated in a combi configuration, the pax are always in the back. Like the previous 748, they can load bags/freight in front or back for cg and loading
