Weather holding fuel
After yesterday's east coast effort it has become apparent that some ATC do not understand SAM weather criteria and its application to forecast weather above the SAM but requiring weather hold. The assumption I gleaned was that if the weather said TEMPO we would have it regardless if it was above SAM. Often if the forecast is close to SAM we would carry it even though it is not required however ATC believe it would be carried. Any ATC people care to enlighten us? Such a fundamental error is hard to fathom.
