Question for the fuel watchers amongst us: Over the last few days around ML there have been significant deviations around weather - some probably added 20 minutes or more flight time.

I can't imagine this could be specifically planned for so why aren't we hearing a great wailing & gnashing of teeth?

Surely you don't carry some for "Mum"........?

I don't disagree with the need to publish amended traffic holding NOTAMs, but are you expecting this to always be well ahead of time? The problem is life ain't so predictable. The NOTAMs are published based on expected conditions & if reality decides to be different they're wrong.
