Loading delays go on DHL....not your airline. I’ve never seen it nor heard of it. I’ve worked for a couple ACMIs flying DHL stuff. Not buying it.
Regarding waiting for freight in CVG. DHL strategically figures out freight shifts when things are running late. The put the time sensitive items on the aircraft with the best chance to make the European sort. They add extra fuel for high speed burn and off it goes. I have done a number of these. Have other companies done these?

As far as extra gas and Hi speed cruise yes...did it all the time West to East when things are dicked up. Also make exceptions when K4 is routinely late ( usually up to 2 hrs because of maintenance according to our Mechanics in SEA ) on Mon am coming from LAX.
