"adequate"?
I know very well what the word means!

I do not mean that "adequate" is a vague statement - what I mean is that "an adequate fuel quantity" is a vague statement - I apologize for my mistake

I still would like to know the remaining fuel onboard upon landing - just for info.

I flew the B-767 for many years, and on long flights, especially to our homebase we some times had to replan without fuel to alternate - i.e. land with final reserve fuel (on the B-767 2.0T) as absolute minimum.
Of course weather etc.. permitting.

I just wonder if BA038 did so on their lucky day!
