No it happens.


All Capts were issued a chart with where they stand percentage wise across all mainline fleets (not just A380).

Some chose to ignore it.

Most sensible people continued to order fuel sensibly, the way they did before the "Fly Spec Chart" .......but there are always a few who need protecting from themselves and order minimum (or flt plan fuel) [which to be fair can be absolutely acceptable on any given day] - however some take it regardless of potentially foreseeable contingencies.


Some are even proud to be in the lowest fuel ordering ranges.


Most are very happy if they fit into the "normal" or average range.
