This sounds interesting - is it getting rolled out on all the existing NGs or just new ones?
My operator and a few others I believe encourage us to take the CLB1/CLB2 out of the FMC when cleared to a flight level above FL150, mainly when well below FL100 and get cleared to a high level. I believe its something to do with the fact its better to get up there sooner to burn less fuel by burning a little more fuel to get there sooner (if that makes sense!) Just wondering if this is commonplace and does it really stack up?
