What makes you think airline management would get anywhere near the disaster when they are able to transfer all of the blame, sorry responsiblity, to the Captain who failed to take enough fuel - the Ops Manual clearly says take extra if you need it...

Some of same Captains who will adjust the Jetplan fuel down for underload and then pick a cruise level for a 25kg saving in predicted burn are those who will do a full 8nm ILS at a quiet airfield in CAVOK conditions. It's a laugh, innit?
