Pilots allege USAir restricts fuel to save money

From D. Parker CEO - USAirways:
The FAA requires all flights to plan to arrive with 45 minutes of fuel. At US Airways
we use 60 minutes of arrival fuel as minimum and currently average 100 minutes in actual
operations.
Through the normal tracking of our landing weight and fuel burn, we recently discovered that a
few of our pilots (eight to be exact) were adding fuel to their dispatched fuel loads much more
frequently than their peers. While this is appropriate as our pilots always have the ability to order
more fuel as conditions warrant, the data for this small number of pilots was well in excess of the
norm.

Thats another good one douggie. How about you buy the next round cause you are driving

Whenever pilots talk about safety remember what they really mean:WE WANT MORE MONEY! Remember the big safety problem at NWA with understaffing? As soon as premium pay was offered the union stopped complaining about how unsafe staffing conditions were.

It is obvious that the EAST pilots are having another tantrum and trying to add ridiculous amounts of fuel in order to extort more money out of the company. The usual union mafia tactics.

What are these USAir crybabies complaining about now? European airlines have been practicing this for years!
Go get a real job you good for nothing, whining sky queens!

Usair has always and will always suck!!!!!!!!!! Doug stop falling off your barstool and go baak to work.
