I’ve personally had my company try to apply an inappropriate amount of pressure on me to carry the company flight planned fuel.
I refused, argued my point (which fell on deaf ears), and at the end of the day, despite the veiled threats, I’m still here as a commander and probably carrying more fuel today than I was back then.
Never forget who’s responsible for the safety of the aircraft and the amount of fuel on board.
It’s YOU!!!
just divert and cost them more fuel and delays. Do that a few times and your will see more fuel being addded to your dispatch releases.
saves arguing with stupid.
