Can anybody throw some light on the actual cost of carrying one ton extra for one hour. I heard it was around three quid!! Ok a lot when mulitplied by 50,000 flights but surely there must be easier ways of saving money on flights. I know of one ops person who claimed it was 'Those damn Pilots carrying all that fuel' for the financial state of the Airline' If I made mistakes that cost as much as ops decisions - I would have been sacked long ago!!!
