Doing a DEN IAD turn on the bus at FL 250/260 will burn an extra 6k lbs of fuel more round trip. That is almost $2000 dollars. That is more than what they are paying us to fly the plane. Hope it is worth it.. The view is much better down there anyway.

That's mainly because the Port Authority only has two temperature settings at EWR: summer and winter. Recently asked for the air to be hooked up and was told "It's only going to blow hot air, sir. It's set to winter." Very much like our terminals in EWR. Suffocating at times, esp. in C-2 concourse.
Maybe that's the real reason Stankovich retired: couldn't stand the C-2 heat!
