saw this on Jetflyers, thought this crowd should have it...I've found lately when I decide to add fuel and call GOC they sound relieved rather than question it.

So, this is what has been going on in GOC ground school:
Apparently, upper management is putting on a very strong push to induce GOC controllers to upload the minimum fuel possible at anytime possible. Apparently the effort is surprising in how energetically and consistently the message is reiterated.
Its the "We Thrive at 85" program. It refers to ACF 85 from the FOM. The ACF is the Analyzed Contingency Fuel. It refers to the historical (three years) data that suggests if that a contingency fuel amount loaded onto an aircraft would preclude the need to burn into FAR required minimum fuel. ACF 85 implies 85 percent of the aircraft would not have burned into the FAR minimum required fuel for dispatch. Of course, it also implies that 15% of the flights would have been less comfortable with that amount and would have burned into FAR minimum dispatch fuel. ACF 85 is the minimum fuel for dispatch of a FedEx aircraft.
I am in no way suggesting that ACF 85 is a bad thing. There are certainly times wherein this amount is acceptable.
The unacceptable occurs when upper management endeavors to manipulate competent GOC controllers instead of allowing them to judiciously plan our fuel based upon their experience and their education.
GOC does an excellent job. They, and this pilot group, do not need management conjured powerpoint presentations inducing them to do anything other than exercise their better judgement.
