But using MCT for 'standard' climbs will cause more engine wear and shorter on-wing life. Companys might be unwittingly spending a lot more £ thousands on engine changes and rebuilds than if MCT were not used.

On the A330, we used 2 derated climb power settings which were something like 8% and 13% less than CLB power to reduce engine wear.
