Some guys like to do whatever comes to their head. It's amazing in an industry like aviation with SOPs and some will find their way to do something new. I think it's human nature. More fuel burn and one day he'll need it. But I know , he takes also some tons of extra fuel without a single reason, it's safer. I know this character. Those 30 mins are calculated with conf 1.
Common sense means common sense but, what a disaster for a pilot which is born without perception. Even more, without willing to listen...Oh la la
