There are some CAs out there that are obsessed with this stuff. One less pilot on the steet crap which you have no way of knowing. That company who you are trying to save a few pounds of fuel for has no problem furloughing a pilot right after IOE or if it means saving a few dollars now even after the training costs. And they will do it without losing any sleep, meanwhile you're trying to save 50 pounds. I flew the profile and didn't mind some of the CAs that the OP is talking about, now I'm furloughed along with about a hundred others. I wish I could could have saved a little more gas.
