If it is short by a few minutes you need to fix the
of planning. Be responsible, put fuel, fly 0.87M the whole way. Safety first
On a JFK-DXB you can catch up 20 minutes at 0.87
You have to do your job and avoid discretion if possible. Then at the end if you end up being 2 minutes in discretion, well, at least you tried as much as you could to avoid going overtime on the FTL. In the event of an incident, a judge in a court would agree that there was a possibility of not going into discretion intentionally. That would be a fair reason for accepting to do the flight. But fly flight plan econ speed, and have a scratch at the end? I'm not sure what a judge would think??? Remember guys, EK is totally broke, it is a fact. All the money is ending down the road.The $$$ is where it hurts.
