Yeah whenever fuel's tight on a long flight I like to crack out some boards for the cruise portion to take the edge off.
Wait, what?
Is that like negative flaps on a Maul for cruise or something? I guess its better than "OK when I select some flaps you pull that breaker real quick, k?"
And are we definately investing on sharklets for the 320's? If so that would mean we might be thinking of keeping/refreshing that fleet and taking a harder look at the NEO's than I thought.
