Thanks Airclues,

In my view this incident throws up 3 questions:-

1 Should the Boeing aircraft QRH Low Fuel procedure (open crossfeed) also include a note that fuel might be consumed from one tank first if the booster pump in that tank have a higher pressure than the other pumps.

2 Does simulator software replicate the reality of the above?

3 Will pilots decisions in the future be influenced by the thought of nearly 50 pages in PPRuNe dissecting his actions; if so it will be a bad day for flight safety.
