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.
Spot on. It's unprofessional, and those who do this let themselves down. Complete stupidity. If you get caught and lose your job, then you'll be in an even worse position. Attitudes like that do nothing to eradicate problems in this industry, they just make the problems worse. That is why unions are so important (including those outside aviation).
