minimum fuel

I knew a CP ,C.T ..... all use to take minimum fule and then they got stuck on low level and when they reach dest the WX +traffic was not as expected and guess what there alternate was alternate for 30 more airline so they couldnt get clereance to land there after that they take extra .
Minimum fule and 1 G/A and you are at alternate . G/A is a normal part of IFR so isnt it stupid to divert for that reason ? Dont we live in Qatar where a poor guy drive Land Cruiser ?
Fule is a Capt who decide and no one can give him a w/l for that and for sure not the one who has his licence expired 3 times in 1 year .
Enjoj minimum fuel untill one day you get stuck and you will learn .
Aske old alive Capt what they think about minimum fuel and you will know .
