Well it’s not that easy. Our company is quite generous on fuel. However taking extra fuel when it’s cavok everywhere, I don’t do that. We already have 15 min extra fuel on top of the minimum required by law for every flight. And sometimes we just can’t take any extra as the payload is too much or the flight time is so long that even with full tanks ( Aircraft not equipped with extra tanks) we barely have some extra.
Anyway, thank you guys for your inputs. I’m glad to hear some common sense. I just wish more people had a better undestanding of the law to avoid unnecessary and probably more risky diversions.
