$5 dollars for each of us. Imagine the possibilities.
Surely they realize APU use is inversely proportional to profit sharing? You axed PS and APU use went up? Shocker. You dragged out negotiations and APU use went up? Again, shocker. You get what you incentivize. This little project they are doing to make sure ground power and air is sufficient at the gates will yield little results. It’s already very easy for a pilot to call for power or air. It’s even easier to just put the APU on as soon as you land (or below 10,000’ for Sully reasons as one CA does) and not even think about using ground power and air. With 0.2%, I don’t think Jim’s hope of APU reduction is going to do much.
