Heard a B767 crew recently tell ATC that they burn 600kg per side per hour at idle on the ground
I assume that they can't shut one down whilst waiting, or taxiing onto a bridge on one is a bit iffy?
What about the A320's, B737's and A330's that regularly wait for a vacant bay. How much do they burn sitting at idle with a plane load of frustrated pax?
How much of this is caused by airport delays verses company delays? Capt 4 bars had better not have the boss in the back, as AJ may be unimpressed by the sledging being meted out by 4 bars to his employer.
