Are you implying that they will use the report for the up coming "Restructure"/ Lay off announcement?

No. My implied message is I don't lose sleep over my fuel decisions. They've been collecting captains fuel uplift for years. Big deal if they now want to tell me how I'm going.

Define "not taking enough".
These are the true heroes in the eyes of CX, which is why they are rewarded handsomely for their brave sacrifices...
Oh, wait, no. They're not. They do it for free.

I'll keep that in mind the next time I massage the fuel to get staff on.
I believe he means those who go out of their way to take less than CFP, thus exposing everyone on board to additional unnecessary risk, all in the name of saving the company a handful of dollars.

Not a CX pilot but, the fuel argument is very close to the stats vs "watch the games" debate raging on in many pro sports. I'm most familiar with baseball and hockey. Old school strict "expertise"-types appear to believe that stats cannot possibly help to explain or inform such a fluid thing as a game. Egghead types boil down every possible moment into a probability.
Just curious if one's position on use of stats in sports management- for scouting, creating a team, deploying the team, strategy etc correlates with one's position on airline fuel loading.
Use the data? Or rely on your staff's experience? Seems the most successful pro sports teams today run (my opinion) on a 2:1 ratio of the above methodologies. Neither is fully reliable on its own, the secret sauce is mixing the two appropriately. Any company or team that strays too far in one direction is going to get lapped.
