How much is 25 lbs. of fuel savings worth to you? How much is it worth to Boeing?
United Airlines switched to lighter paper for in-flight use to save 11lbs source
From that article:
“With United Airline’s 4,500 daily departures, it made sense to cut 1 oz. from its in-flight magazine, and switch to a lighter paper (weighing 6.85 oz.) instead. What this means in a larger scale, says the Times, is that the airline is saving 170,000 gallons of fuel a year which amounts to $290,000 in annual fuel costs.”
Oh really? When you told me this earlier it was two computers, and you ended up accidentally walking on the broken remains. You were complaining about the pain from your fallen Arches.
