Is that after you have burnt your variable reserve?

Our absolute minimum over destination pre-flight is 30min + 10min approach fuel + variable reserve (5% of flight fuel from a PNR). You don't need to arrive with the variable reserve as it is there for adverse winds or being held down etc.

This arrival fuel is for when the forcaste is OK. Using "route experience" I tend to look for reasons to put more on!
