Looking on the bright side, possibly, perhaps this will mean the airlines will concentrate more on what we burn rather than on what we arrive with!

I think sometimes management believe that you are charged for storing fuel in the tanks. If I leave with a few Kgs above min plan but burn less than the planned burn then thats good for me and means I havent spent all day staring at the guages. They on the other hand tend to say....... "You arrived with more than the barest legal limit, therefore you left with too much. We will now `adjust` the plan for that route so that the planned burn will be less, and keep pressing you take the minimum!"
All this from a deeply padded chair .......and in hindsight!

I suppose I should just divert more often!!!
