- ah! Really good to see you here.
Regarding "learn to read!" - why not follow your own advice. Ask a pilot to show
you a copy of EUOPS and
you can read Appendix 1 to OPS 1.255, 1.3 (a) (iv). Perhaps
you could then return here and educate us all with how you understand that alleviation. Nothing to do with "3% ERA" by the way.
Now from your own post
In slow months, with no delays, it goes down to the minimum of 5 minutes.
So, you are convinced that 5 minutes is
always at least 5% of trip? Some examples please? You may well find that that point refers to Appendix 1 to OPS 1.255, 1.3 (b) (when you find it) where this is higher than the 'no delay' statistical contingency. You claim to be responsible for aeroplanes and fuel planning do you?
Does BA do this on a regular basis?
- I don't know, but
IF you read my post I said "in my time (up to 2004)" - it is now 2012 - so I do not know. Why not ask? I suspect they do.
I'm tempted to
here but I know it upsets some sensitive souls.
