Regulations or Policy

Wiggy Quote:- "I('m) happy with the fuel regs I operate under?"

Are those the regulations or your Company's fuel policy?

The regulations, of course, are the lowest acceptable standard, below which an aircraft would be operating illegally.

Some companies raise the bar and do substantially better than the regulations, particularly with regard to fuel policy, FTLs and training.

A Company that operates stricly in accordance with the regulations has room for improvement.

The policy which you describe makes good sense to me (I might even have been familiar with that policy myself - WB perhaps?)
