The problem with saving fuel..

[Yonosoy Marinero]

Come on guys, quit being selfish. Think of their bonuses.

Now, I remember from accounting 101 that there are two column thingies in a balance sheet. I believe one is expense, like fuel and salary for those pesky, whiny pilots. The other one is, uh, revenue?

So, who's working on that one? What's being done exactly?

I mean, the service isn't exactly getting better, is it? Save from 'the best cabin crew in the known universe', of course.

We're going smaller aircraft to save fuel, but ASK, and overall revenues, are down.

So we go smaller to save fuel, but that restricts revenue, so we have to save more fuel...

Sounds like an inverted flat spin to me.

Then again, it's easier to get credit for saving a few tonnes of fuel than to get it for increasing a business' potential for generating revenue. That takes too many people and an actual long term growth plan... Who has time?
