One of the neworks had a program last week titled A
Day in the Life of American Airlines. They talked
about no longer ferrying fuel back and forth, but they
are not going to cut the margins enough to run out
of fuel; that way absolute bankruptcy lies. Imagine
the class-action suits!

appears the airlines are using minimum fuel as much
as possible to
reduce fuel burns and costs. Seems to me that some
good glider
experience could become a hiring requirement at the
majors if they
keep this up.

There are several airline pilots who are active members
at Portmoak...
