I've heard this term floating around the cockpit lately and began to think about it.
DL is making us pay another $50 to use the only benefit i have.
Flying into a DL hub the other day mainline was right up on us and tower had asked us max froward as practicable. I landed and got off at the first high speed allowing DL to land. As im making the turn off I think to my self I could have just cost DL more then my entire crew base pays to use travelnet.
The DCI shuffle has worn hard on me and I just don't give a **** anymore.
I have absolutely no incentive other then the environment to taxi with one engine, shut down the apu in flight or on the 4 hour sit, use reduced thrust TO ect.. why should I. We as pilots have a huge opportunity to show the MAN we can save them more money then they can imagine if they pay us well and keep us happy. end of rant
