down3
No retraction necessary.
If this fellow was carrying fuel instead of payload he doesnt deserve his slot. Minimum fuel is minimum fuel. As I said, (correcty), the habit of carrying a bit of extra for mum and the kids is gone long gone. Probably why the company he was employed by is gone, long gone, from the service.
Down3, I hope that if you're employed in the aviation industry you havent been affected by the lasted economic downturn, because in all honesty, with your attitude, you will find it very difficult to be re-employed.
Best wishes and best of luck.
ps: since you appear to be a stickler, your use of (sic), is incorrect. In future, please use square parentheses, ie, [sic].
