What do you think about this inflight fuel saving technique
Flying along in the -400 at 330 on an oceanic track and the flight plan calls for a climb to 350, but we are a bit too heavy, so the FMC is changed from Econ to LRC in order to burn off fuel more quickly so we can get higher sooner.
Seems odd to me but I am kind of new to this glass cockpit stuff.
Didn't work anyways as we closed in on someone 1 FL above us and ahead of us so we stayed where we were.
