no it’s not our job to save money. Our job is to operate the aircraft safely within the standards set by the FAA, aircraft manufacture and company procedures. If they truly cared about saving money we wouldn't constantly be sitting waiting for a gate, or rampers, or jet bridge drivers, or sucky air at the gate so we use the app or no brake fans or you name it. We have such little control over costs. Flying cost index and Single engine taxi is really all we can do and have direct control over. I try to be proactive and it makes such little difference most of the time.
