It all sounds like russian roulette for the PASSENGERS ,,, management telling the pilots how to suck every joule of energy out of every gram of fuel , saving pennies here and dimes there and creating a condition wherin factors lead to increased holes in the cheese model of accident investigation !!!
Put the friggen throttles to MAX take-off power, get off the ground and get climbing early THEN think of saving pennies here and dimes there,,,looks like the cart is ruling the horse NOW !!!
