Oh come on is that really how we fly? To ensure the FO feels comfortable? Or with efficiency, discipline and accuracy?
If the FO is uncomfortable unless he descends 10 miles early then he shouldn’t be in the seat.
If the FO wans extra fuel he can have it...if he can justify carrying it. He can’t have it just because.
