What you’ve just said has pretty much sealed the seniority argument for me. Not sure if you think what you’re saying is a good or a bad thing though, tone doesn’t really come through in text
As an FO, I don’t want to fly with the person who is trying to be at the top of the fuel league table by never taking any extra, who never stops to get the aircraft checked by engineers and doesn’t put in fatigue reports. The person you’ve just described sounds way, way too punchy. That sort of task focused mentality I’m sure works great in the military when there is a genuine mission that must be achieved. It has no place in commercial aviation.
