Kaptin M, don't know which company enjoys the benefit of your services but in my company, minimum diversion fuel, which was included in fuel required; meant fuel which is the sum of alternate fuel and reserve fuel. Reserve fuel meant 45 mins. holding at FL 100. This obviously was not available to our intrepid captain
in question. I'm glad you and I never flew together, I always hated arguing with my captains, which very rarely were necessary.
