I don’t undestand your point. The scenario I describe was just to clarify something, not a real case. We do have short flights like I describe and like I said, if the weather is good I would not take extra fuel. I like to be efficient. Not in our company, but in some low cost carriers, you would have to explain yourself if you take extra fuel on a beautiful day. The contengency + the 15 min extra fuel gift from the company + conservative flight plan are more than enough especially I know, worst case scenario I can cancel my destination alternate fuel if required. Tankering and fuel price are very expensive especially outstation.
