<<This reads to me as though you are trying to suggest that BA and Virgin use (or abuse) lower fuel minima than other airlines operating at Heathrow. Forgive me if I have misinterpreted you, but, while I can't speak for BA's crews, I can categorically assure you that I am under no pressure to land with dangerously low levels of fuel. The minima that Virgin use are in excess of those mandated by ICAO and the CAA, and may be augmented as the Captain sees fit.>>
Scroggs.. . I made the statement recalling experience, but others have already disputed what I said and I accept that.
Edited to add: Before anyone jumps to conclusions - I have every confidence in the airlines I mentioned and fly with them both and no slur was intended..
