Yes, if you have used all the cont enroute. The aim is to trim costs but the result for me personally is more intervention and more orders for extra fuel so the new policy is counterproductive in my case.
The policy uses statistical probababilities based on the previous two years fuel data for every leg we do. As I said in an earlier post I look at this as an almost superstitious belief in the rational method at the expense of experience, intuition and plain old gut feeling. These last three come under the heading of "quaint" or "unscientific" these days but I find they are becomming more important in my own planning.
After all, under our new system events like 911 and the Hudson splashdown become non-events two years and a day after they took place. Only a computer could think like that.
