There have been several exhaustion and starvation events under the old rules, so they weren't that great.
Maybe a change of rules will also bring about an attitude change and thus the event rate will reduce because more pilots are being more prudent about their fuel planning/monitoring. Maybe.
Neither you or I can say that it will or won't happen.
don, you talk sense. It is pretty simple in the big picture.
