As FlightDetent said, mine was just a random number out there, just to emphasize that often what we call “safe” is “statistically safe”. It would be interesting though to run an experiment on a set of flights diverting right at minimum div. fuel in different kind of weather and operational constraints and pull out the statistics on landing fuel at the alternate.
