Guidance and Procedures
Dear Rainboe,
I absolutely agree with your position.
The thing is I am in charge of reviewing some internal procedures of my company. I am not agains the current ones, I try to improve it, as I am paid for that purpose.
Fuel tankering practice is one of those I concentrate lately because it is a very sensitive subject and because a large amount of money is involved.
As previously mentioned per the collegues, fuel tankering involves more parameters than fuel cost at each planned station and extra fuel burn. Unfortunately, this are the only parameters on which my company base its computation (currently). Other parameters are very hard to take into account, especially automatically. I wondered how other operators solved this, reason of my thread in this forum.
Any suggestion leading to a procedure improvement starts with a strict application of current procedures.
Again, for all of you, thanks for your contribution.
