Thanks for the replies, my point is on 9:40 hrs recent flight which is two sectors (a.k.a legs) I ditched my CI and went up to .78, that jump from .74 to .78 is around 4 minutes per hour or around 36 minutes total.
The fuel prediction to the nearest 100 showed no loss which in my head meant we couldn't used up more than 100 kilos extra and at the current prices (I checked) meant we couldn't have used more than $130 extra while saving the company 35 minutes of allowances for a two man crew and 7 F/As of around $340.
I ran the numbers through my a friend and then through various departments in the company and they checked out. I went to the Chief Pilot and he was bewildered. I told him I will fly .78 until he can tell me why not
. His only reply was that my allowances will take a dive.
My allowances are around 60% of my total pay, for those in different parts of the world (different terminology
) it consists of:
1-per sector allowance
2-per flight hour
3-per duty hour
