great stuff.....

well i have one question came on my mind....the EXTRA FUEL ...

sometimes i notice commanders...in case of a bad wx at dest...they take extra fuel...

say the total required fuel is 8000 KGS...for the A320...

he will say to the dispatcher to make it 9000KGS ...soem will take 1000 extra ..others will take 500...and some will take 2000 ...

but the question is ...based on what they define the extra fuel weight...why he took 1000 instead of 500...why not 300 more..or 400 ?

thanks
