I have a question, if in fact this is the thread in question.
BASI have proved the fuel guages were U/S. Is this company only required to accertain fuel on board via gauges only.
Most operations use a dual method of checking.
Are the flight crew getting a good kick up the ar$e for not considering fuel burn on the previous sector.
I have personally never flown an A/c that I couldn't accurately determine fuel burn based on previous experience on a particular sector.
Maybe the crew were new to the the Bne - thangool run?
