A EMB135 PILOT'S INT'L DEST FORECAST MARGINAL WX BUT DISPATCH CHOSE 10 MIN OF HOLD FUEL TO SAVE MONEY. FLT CREW OBTAINED AN INCREASE TO 20 MIN.

Narrative

CHKED WX IN ZZZ2 TO FIND IT MARGINAL AT BEST. PULLED RELEASE AND FOUND; ONCE AGAIN; THAT THE DISPATCHER REALIZED THAT AN ALTERNATE ARPT WAS NEEDED DUE TO CONDITIONS BUT THE HOLD FUEL COLUMN HAD NOT BEEN AMENDED TO REFLECT CURRENT CONDITIONS PER MGMNT DIRECTION NOT TO CHANGE HOLDING 'PROFILES' WHICH HAD BEEN RECENTLY REDUCED BY MORE THAN HALF. 10 MINS OF HOLD FUEL REMAINED UNCHANGED BECAUSE MGMNT IS PRESSURING DISPATCH TO FLY WITH LIMITED HOLD FUEL TO REDUCE 'COSTS.' 10 MINS OF HOLD FUEL INTO AN ARPT WITH MARGINAL CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE DISPATCHER DOES NOT WANT HIS/HER NAME ON THE FUEL LIST FOR THE WEEK PRINTED AND HUNG BY MGMNT. CONTACTED DISPATCHER AND AFTER 'CAPT REQUESTED IT' FUEL WAS BEGRUDGINGLY ADDED TO 20 MINS TO ACCURATELY REFLECT THE CONDITIONS. LOW WX AT AN INTL DEST WITH FEW ALTERNATIVES CLOSE BY AND NO GAS TO HOLD. GET MGMNT OUT OF THE DISPATCH PROCESS AND STOP PRESSURING DISPATCHERS TO CUT FUEL TO BELOW SAFE AND NORMAL LEVELS. CREATE A PROFILE FOR HOLDING BASED ON REALITY NOT BONUS PROGRAM OF A FEW IN MGMNT.
