-I don't really care who is taking or not the responsability for diversion..
I always take extra fuel simply because when we are death tired, and you have two somnolent pilots in the cockpit when approaching our destination, (due to Sh.. roster)the last think i want to do in such a circumstance is to divert,and put extra work load on ourself,simply because i didn't take a couple of hundred kg of extra fuel.
Safety first,Economy after.

-So now i presume all the long layover we have are gone be Days off downroute(as it appears already on my roster) as they don't have to pay us anymore, and they can use it for legality,to make us flying more!
Well ,That's probably part of what they dare to call here: the improvment of the roster system!!Another insult in the face of the crew!
