Bottom line. With the closure of Yeman airspace the Eastern Africa flights were running close to an hour late. A proposal was made to speed up THOSE flights only. That is until commercial got involved and said, wow if you can do that with those flights, why not all flights? And of course who won that argument? Just wait a week or two until the ASRs top out and fuel used figures come in. CI400 will be a distant memory and we will be back to not leaving a few minutes early without approval from VPNC.
