Mach082 ”The pax will not be inconvenienced one bit”

You suggest flying into headwinds , that normally adds to flight time causing delays therefore incovenience.

Even if you were to fly your 'high fuel burn profile' perfectly with no delay you have just eroded the safety margin in the flight by carrying more fuel resulting in greater take off distance and mmore stress on the aircraft and engines while the primary goal of this flight is to be an economic weapon rather than a safe , efficient and comfortable flight for the pax who are customers trying to support you.

Seriously , just think about what you said logically , there is an effect
