Ever wonder how much the terminal layout at JFK cost Delta in wasted fuel?
Lots of low hanging fruit in regards to fuel burn at Delta and most of it has nothing to do with the pilots!
You're totally right and that's the most frustrating of all because it's out of our control. Or the buttloads of fuel wasted at the DCI carriers all running their APU's because their companies are too cheap to invest in GPU's and ground air carts.
