Oh well, yet another SSG.
Anyway, max cost difference i've seen so far was around 280$ per 1000kg of fuel. Can't comment on our longhaul operation, they might see larger differences.

It's moot. You guys don't know what the company is paying at point A and B, any more then you know what the overhaul cost is that forces you guys to run it to the end with de-rated power.
That said, if you want to have a conversation about flight planning, efficiencies, costs, etc, then you need to be able to pick optimal altitudes, power settings, routes etc..if you cant, or are not able, then taking on a few thousand pounds of fuel here or there, saving $20 on the contracted price at destination A or B is really just academic and has little real consequence to the overall flight operation.
if you cant, or are not able,
