I suspect this is indeed related to the DXB -SFO- DXB trips.

I thought they learned their lesson in dispatch after we had a few too many diversions using DPP on this sector. Everyone flying the T7 knows that the burn is ALWAYS 2T more than planned. Have you ever seen what all these Indy pax bring on board with them? Indeed count on a TOW that is a few tons more than on paper...

In the western world, one would adjust the fuelburn for this trip. Not here ofcourse... No brains.
It is verys simple for me: If they try to dispatch me via DPP to SFO then cargo/bags will be kicked off. And btw. no problem : get T&B ready so I can kick some @55es.
