BT,
In technical aviation terms you would be referred to as a "Dumbass".
Professional aviation is all about (has always been about) balancing the risk between commericlal expediency, & cutting one's margins too fine. Despite the absolute c**t managers in CX (of which the new GMA is the latest,& biggest!), the crews in CX walk this tightrope better than most, & they do it everyday with no fanfare.
BTW, if you load an extra 10 tons of fuel on a 15hr sector did you know that you will get to destination with only 3 tons of that 10. You knew that already right?..... Dumbass.
