Bermondseya, you really need to go back over the two threads to assess the range of different responses/answers to the fuel issue. Your assessment seems too trite by far to me. If this was always about the diverson due to the fuel situation you should simply have tackled that matter.
What you chose to discuss was the applicability of the FARs and you now are agreeing that most carriers, including U.S. carriers, don't meet the FARs leaving LAX. We are now into minutiae and the nuance of difference. I really don't think that this is productive a way to go. You also imply that pilots should be familiar with the laws of every state over which they fly - I suggest that this is nonsense.
All I have to say is that any assertion that the FAA have a "slam dunk" case against BA is just plain wrong. This is not quite as "black or white" as some seem to think.
