Safe, customer focused, and economically sensible in that order.

While I agree, $100 wasted every flight is $100m in cash wasted a year. It's a seemingly small amount of money but scales to a large amount, especially when you consider that extra $100m in profit would add 10% to our yearly profit last year.
Also I don't think SET saves any money, really only in certain circumstances.
