Might I ask you what aircraft you fly everyday that have fuel leaks?
Might I also ask why, presuming you report these fuel leaks to the engineers, you are not making a stand and refusing to fly? (I'm asuming they arn't fixing the leaks)
I am reluctant to pass judgement on you (especially after some of the posts on here) but 'irresponsible' seems to rings a bell. Do you fly with a crew and are you the captain? If so, then don't you feel that you have duty of care to the rest of your crew?
To openly admit that you fly an aircraft with those kind of problems every day is the most absurd thing I think I have ever read here. To brush them off as a 'nothing' is crass stupidity.
As for the civvie pax - well let me just say that if anyone popinted out something to me that they were unhappy about and didn't look right, I would take it seriously and check it. Aircraft are NOT designed to leak fuel on the ground (unless its an SR-71 or such like) To ignore it is again stupid and irresponsible. Well done to the pax!
