This is an industrial issue, not a safety issue.
Absolute rubbish.....why not make it 1:75 then if it's only an industrial issue and safety is not at risk...
This is simply about cost cutting....nothing more nothing less and safety is the victim as usual if the accountants get their way....
I noticed that you posted a comment about carrying extra fuel for unplanned contingencies being a good and smart thing though.....
Why do you order and carry extra fuel....Normally,you land with considerable fuel still in the tanks but your happy because it's there for unforeseen events.
Most pilots and all cabin crew would be happy to keep the 1:36 ratio but management and accountants as usual can't see the forest for the trees...
