Really? Is it that much harder to put .78 in the box than .64? Maybe I'm missing something here...
I was referring to other things like quick turns at out stations and being pro-active to get the on-time departure. That can be difficult when you block in 10-20 mins late because you fly green dot for 2 hours.
I respect saving fuel, and will do so when when can maintain schedule integrity. I would suggest flying at optimum altitude and selecting LRC in the box if you want to be as efficient as possible in the 170.
I have a vested interest in Delta's all around performance, since their success keeps my airline in business. My secondary interest involves my airlines performance. I don't want them to go the way of Freedom if the performance begins to suffer.
My reasoning seems pretty valid if you ask me. It should be for you as well, if you value having a job.
