Question Economic flight profile

What is the most economic fligth profile for an jet aircraft?
Most of our captains say that a parable is the most economic profil on a short flight, but I think it's not because climb thrust is set for a longer time than in a profile with a level-off at a cruise altitude where cruise thrust will be set!!??
