You seem to have been suckered in a beauty. And they talk about the press.
I think you should rephrase to Captain "Shut the fcuk up" allegedly. This chap seems to have been proven guilty buy the Kangaroo court already. Being one who was flying into EDI that night I didn't detect one ounce of tone which indicated the were anywhere near a level of fuel criticality. The fuel warning goes off at a point where you have about 20-25 minutes until you are into your final reserve. And when the warning goes off I am sure you start getting nervous. So perhaps this Captains first mistake was to declare a PAN PAN.
I have certainly been there myself so am I guilty of jeopardising the safe operation of the flight.
I suggest this will never get a satisfactory resolution and would point out this thread may be a victim of some porkys.
