Someone in the office has decided that they have to finally pay for all that gas. Instead of FL 260 and flat as a rat they are now creating a traffic jam after TOD.

. . . . and usually with 120 kts less headwind than the "W******s" sitting in the wind tunnel at FL410, Quietachiever. Something to do with Specific ground range . Actually achieving a lower trip fuel burn off than sitting up at optimum.

Now for some intelligent discussion.
