Anyone who wastes fuel deliberately deserves to be sacked. It's like a spoilt child bursting the ball because he's not allowed play. What a load of B%**("$.
They wouldn't do it if they could be found out, so what's the point? RS or anyone else won't realise it's happening (if they did they'd be sacked) and the effect is just absorbed into the total annual fuel cost accross the fleet. What are they trying to achieve???? How can they possibly go home at night and feel like they've done a good job? People like that don't deserve to be flying. It really boils my blood.
It's back to the common attitude among so many people that if the company isn't nice to us we'll waste their money and put them put of business. And when we're all unemployed, we'll talk about how it was all their fault.
Unwiseowl,
Unless management have issued a memo instructing crews to waste fuel, then there is no excuse for irresponsible and unprofessional behaviour. You cannot blame an individuals gross malpractice on poor management.
