That is right but have in mind that these two made a previous flight. x checking the fuel quantity prior to take off then monitoring it during the flight to Bari should have triggered their attention on a rising discrepency in regards to the fuel indicated on the wrong indicators. Fuel calculation is vital and fuel monitoring too.
