Anyway the initial premise of this thread was about fuel not about dispatch/relesae procedures related to company specifics.
No but our discussion is relevant to fuel decisions and how they might be made and by whom.
No Wiki is not my Ops Manual but in this instance the information it gives is correct.
Will you please accept that in the UK there is no dispatcher sharing legal responsibility with the Capt for the flight like you have in the US?
Go on, be a real man, and admit it, you were wrong. A good pilot must always appreciate when he/she is wrong, would be dangerous otherwise.
