747 can. Makes for a buggered up checklist, but we can.

Thanks Scott,

Buggered up for us as well on the A320. But we can at least move!

Yeah my kids have all grown....so no one to click the advanced button.

So you'll love the end of this stuff....a thinly veiled tracking system so we can see how we are doing hitting the REMF target. More honestly it is a tool to punish those who the comp decided is not complying with its mandate of the day....whatever that may be.

Big Brother is tracking....oh and Big Brother is a MORON!

Just so you know, they've had that forever. Unimatic has been tracking fuel burn per Captain and calculating how you are performing in relation to your peers for as long as we have been here.

Agree fully about Big Brother being a TOTAL moron

LCAL tracked it as well. They passed the list around in recurrent one year.

Wow, really, no one remembers the last fuel class we went to on the LUAL side? Anyone remember, a divert for fuel is not a failure of the fuel plan?

<Insert snarky comments here>

Should our Captain FPI numbers determine our profit sharing amount?
This should be interesting.

Didn't the old CO have a fuel savings program, and then had a couple of jets run out of fuel on landing roll??

Not trying to light/stoke any fires, but this has been proven to backfire multiple times. Wondering why we are going down this road again.....and again.....
