I love your analogy of a pilot having a plan before takeoff. As a pilot for a major airline, that really resonates! In fact, by doing planning, we often find adverse weather conditions or learn about storms enroute, and will purposely calculate extra fuel to make sure we can make it to the destination or an alternate airport.

In fact, EVERY flight takes off with a lot of extra fuel…if we’re expecting absolutely perfect weather, we still carry an extra hour of fuel! That’s 6000lbs on the 737! 6000 lbs is a lot of passengers, in fact it’s 33 standard weight passengers! Some might say that’s a waste to carry all that extra weight if we don’t even plan to use it, but it’s saved many a flight and is absolutely worth it.

How much more important in business to carry reserves and plan for the unexpected!

Keep up the great work Lonnie and team!
