There's be some QF people reading this old enough to remember Bill Robbi*. When the 747 Fleet captain (JD) accosted Bill in the crewroom many years ago now with:

"Bill, can you explain why you landed with 20 tons remaining on your last flight?"

Bill's reply said it all. "Yair, 'cos I didn't need it."
