- what is also 'lost' on many here is that the RECOMMENDATION is to arrive with 20 mnutes holding at LGW at that time of day. This crew did not have that...
And, just how long has this been in the notams?
15 years?
20?
Certainly a very long time, yet it is mainly British airlines who have these fuel problems...others abide by the rules, and stick to the plot.

It would appear that from some of the comments here, that many believe...'well, we work for a Brit airline, so we can get away with low fuel on arrival, the others be damned.'

That smokin' hole is getting ever closer.
