Thanks
Capt Hook &
Johnny F@rt Pants- the missus is already feeling a bit more secure with this new knowledge to hand ...
The old git responsible for the scaremongering concerning the reasons for re-fuelling got a good tongue lashing off a few of my other fellow pax ...what an ar--hole .
It was actually quite unnerving to watch the mini wave of hysteria that this guy managed to create in the midst of what had been a very calm situation .
Human nature is fascinating but at times can be very destructive .
I was'nt 100% certain that what my common sense was telling me was in fact correct -ie if you make an unscheduled stop then your goin to need to top up the tank again ! I shud have gone with the flow and joined in barracking the old sod .
Come to think of it - it did take a while to attach the fuel Bowser & being a pax and not a pilot i didnt even consider the Atc restriction / flight plan issue's etc .
All in all it was a learning process & thats why forums like this are invaluable .
cheers for taking out the time to post guys .
