Me either, but I have heard of more 'company minded' crew subtly suggesting to other crew that we should "take min op fuel to save the company" or extend our tour of duty despite already feeling fatigued and other cost saving initiatives that impact on (if nothing else) the workload of the crew.
Most crew that you would want to fly/work with wont even consider it. Unfortunately some will.
