Gosh, if only there were a way to motivate crews to save every penny of fuel (or other costs) that hey could. Some kind of program where any extra dollar of profit generated by the crew going above and beyond was shared with them. It would hqve to be a meaningful amount though.
Hmm. Maybe they should set up a task force to look at it.
