right on, East. These guys call into question CA's authority on fuel, but not on authorization of a jumpseat. They call the JS a "safety" issue, but fuel sticking it to the company.
As laughable as the Corbusier/Yarko "probe" may be, the 53-page power-point presentation ought to be required training for ALL LCC pilots, east AND west, especially charts 42-47 and especially for the Leo's Lost Legions. Their charts of "Fleet Average Arrivals" with over "75 minutes arrival fuel" for the first four months of 2008. PHL A-330 arrivals have the LOWEST minutes remaining of all other PHL aircraft types, just 84 minutes. So even though they fly the longest legs, the cut their fuel to the bone. The highest in PHL is the 737 at 105 minutes. The rest range from 90 to 103 minutes. CLT A-330 crews arrived with even less: only 72 minutes remaining, while the rest of CLT fuel arrival averages are over the PHL 330s.
LAS wasn't included in the charts. With the exception of 757 (domestic) in PHX, all the other minutes of fuel remaining over 75 were way over PHL-330s. LGA, with it's shorter flights, got as high as 112 minutes on the 319.
The company can track fuel burn. Evidently the Philly Eight weren't burning any excess fuel, or the fuel police would have nailed them on that. No, they nailed them on carrying an extra 12 minutes of fuel, 40% of the time. I don't get it. The PHL A-330 average landing has just 9 extra minutes 100% of the time. And for that, these 8 guys are being called out? USAPA, you need to take a look into this. There's something else going on, here. Snoop

It is hard to believe you may be like this in real life because I am sure you don't really speak in Old English, have paragraph replies to questions (if you even answer the question- a rarity when you do) which demand simple yes/no answers or act like you are born on the fourth of July as rockets red glare were bursting overhead. Maybe you should turn down the burner can a little- you seem to have quite an excess of hot gasses. Just a suggestion. Peace.
