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 dont give a **** anymore.
I have absolutly no incentive other then the enviroment to taxi with one engine, shut down the apu inflight or on the 4 hour sit, use reduced thrust TO ect.. why should I. We as pilots have a huge oppertunity 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
If Mesa ever gets PPAS you'll have something else to gripe about. Comair's been using it for three years and Delta hasn't given us so much as a pat on the back for the $millions they've saved in fuel.
