Fuel Efficiency Program demo
Target: 1% of fleet fuel, about $51 million a year, every gallon measured on real flights. 1:34
What the demo shows
A crew of agents finds fleet fuel savings and tracks each one, for fuel efficiency teams
Each initiative is one line: its claimed gallons, the gallons measured from flight data, adoption at the top stations and its status, with one open line at the top where the Fuel Program agent proposes a new saving it found that week. A flight data agent reads every flight's de-identified data; a measurement agent measures adoption and savings against a matched baseline; a checker agent re-computes every figure independently; the Fuel Program agent mines the data for new savings and a trial design agent designs the measured trial; a bulletin agent drafts the pilot bulletin from the operations manual; a reporting agent turns savings into cost and CO2. The Director of Fuel Efficiency asks the agents about any initiative or station and approves trials and retirements with a reason code; the Chief Pilot signs anything that reaches crews.
Transcript
- Fuel Efficiency Program, a crew of agents that finds fleet fuel savings and tracks each one for airline fuel teams.
- Fuel is a third of airline costs.
- 1% of a $5 billion bill is $50 million.
- Each initiative is one line, claimed savings, measured savings, and adoption by station.
- New this week, APU's running 47 minutes before first departures at O'Hare.
- At Denver, single-engine taxi-in rose from 41 to 68 percent, 312,000 gallons a year.
- Nora asks why Houston is low, short taxi-ins, so the agent suggests a nine-minute threshold.
- Nora approves with a reason code.
- The bulletin agent drafts the pilot bulletin.
- The chief pilot signs it.
- Nothing reaches crews without him.
- Every value cited, every decision signed, every step logged, no pilot ever named.
- Measured today, 10.7 million gallons a year, 39 million dollars, 102,000 tons of CO2.
- Built on Botminds: agents, data, screens, and governance on one platform.
