Discretionary Fuel Optimization demo

What the demo shows

Recommends extra fuel per flight from history, with the reason, for dispatchers and captains

Seven agents build each flight's comparable arrivals, read tonight's FAA programs and weather, and recommend the extra fuel in one sentence with its reasons and the cost of carrying the rest. The dispatcher and the captain accept, raise or ask what-ifs in one conversation and co-sign; every change keeps its reason, and repeated reasons become proposed rules that two people sign. The legal minimum is never touched.
