Highest paid pilots that had the highest usage of De-rated Take offs and De Rated climbs in the world. Making us the envy of other operators, saving 100's of thousands in fuel and engine maintenance and longevity alone. Meanwhile all the other carriers were doing Toga takeoffs narrowing the already very thin margin between profit and expenditure. You can see where this is all heading if management don't actually apply the simple solution. Turns out good Airmanship and professionalism are linked to pay and conditions.
