At Horizon they just instituted reduced power settings for even the Q400. The next reported phase is to be even further reduce power settings based on wind. i.e. you have a 50 knot tail wind your gonna reduce your airspeed by 50 knots TAS to burn less fuel for the same arrival time. I just hope they dont start basing Min Total numbers on the forecast winds aloft.
