Rattletrap, few flights depart with FULL FUEL as it is not necessary and is a waste of fuel and $$$.

You imply that the compressor stall was not reported. Do you have facts to verify that? Or is that just unfounded assumption?

Never forget that while there may be various pressures applied at any organization (such as scrutiny of fuel requests) the PIC has final say and has to then climb into the cockpit. Ask yourself.. would you take an airplane you felt unsafe or lacking sufficient fuel?
