Blood from a stone = minimal fuel

Whispers from the Townsville refueller suggest an unplanned diversion saw the jet arrive with min fuel. Lights at the destination, a northern capital city failed and Bloggs was advised to hold but not told why.

After squeezing the stone really hard Bloggs was advised no rwy lites and no idea of how long to rectification.

Shirly Bloggs should of been told straight up why there was a need to hold. Not be put in a position of almost arriving with less than min fuel!
