If folks are so aware of the cost of fuel and how it affects the company (and operates as a fuel hawk person) then I expect them to operate as such in all aspects of their jobs or be called a hypocrite.

I will push up the thrust on legs where we can get back on time. An on time schedule is very important to the company, and sometimes the cost of a bit higher fuel burn to get back on schedule is worth it.

I assume then that you don’t drop the brake when the door closes—you do it only when you are ready to push. You single engine taxi at every opportunity. You don’t run the APU until the last minute. You don’t fly lower for a better ride because it will cost more gas. You probably want to be a check airman or chief pilot as well.

If so, own it.
