Is it not a responsibility of the Captain to be satisfied with the fuel the aircraft is carrying? Or are you not a JAR operator?
It seems to me that even this basic responsibility has been handed to people who remain largely on the ground,including people with ATPLs who should not be called pilots.
Doesn't the 20 mins holding come on top of reserve(30 mins)+ diversion fuel at the planning stage?
Safety first.....yeah right.
