The contrast is they want us to shut down the APU and single engine taxi to save money.
Great point. I think SILs would save 45M-50M/quarter. That’s a lot of money, and the beauty of SILs is that they do not require future recompense. Free-ing a pilot of work obligation IS the payoff. It’s cashing in on the inadvertent surplus.
