Enjoy the view:
It seems completely flipping obvious to me, that the higher the total fuel bill, the less an individual decision to ensure safe operation will impact, as a percentage. Using the figures quoted in this thread, close enough for the sake of argument, half an hours' extra holding costs about 30 quid.
The bean counters say they accept diversions and their sums still say carry minimum fuel. Then again if they were that smart they'd probably be airline pilots or something.
And Caco:
The company certainly will have something to answer for when the moral entity, acting within the legislation dumps 189 paying punters into the undershoot, a la Avianca.
