Effohx, this is even more thread creep but I want to raise a point you touched on, and that is how much fuel you guys carry. We are more and more often having Emirates aircraft telling us that they can't hold for more than 5 minutes otherwise they will have to divert to their alternate. Almost every night now into Dubai we have some sort of holding. Some nights you may be lucky and sneak through with only a couple of vectors and speed control but surely that is too big a risk to take. Has there been any advice from the company as to how much holding fuel to carry when coming into Dubai in the evening?
