What a total load of bollicks !.
When, oh when; please tell me, since (Pontius Pilate) when were engine overhaul costs cheaper than fuel. Or even when FOB (landing) mattered against an on time, safe flight ??.
Tanker cheaper fuel when possible, absolutely; – remember, the company owns every bit of fuel on board - landing. Ok 82 c/ litre at Whykickamoocow, 84 c at YSSY so what ?. Why, in all the hells do we pay management, if not to wangle the best fuel prices ?.
A whole 2 c per litre against brand damage = no sense, no clients = no profit, and no bloody cents whatsoever !. (Pardon the Pun).
We are paid to deliver a payload, on time, every time. That's it. Sod the accountants who can't hedge or spot market or whatever, suddenly, it's my problem. Bollocks.
Streuth.
