Gents(and ladies)the 5% was a standard we used in Canada(for 37 years)as the penalty..Operations would add Tanker fuel when they came across a Bargain(the prices of course)..As flight crew we worried about the logistics(landing weights.etc)..Wing deicing only became a concern on the DC9....The cold fuel(-0)cooled the ambient air to create clear icing on the top o' the wing..
But when one adds up the savings per flight(660a day)Tankering is a worthwhile consideration
as a parttime Metro pilot recently,loading the return \'burn\'if weight allowed, saved us $250 a trip(1 crew wages)
