A very few so called "professionals" here seem to think that pressing on to destination, knowing full well that they will have absolute minimum (or even less) fuel upon arrival in the TMA need to consider...what will you say and how will you explain yourselves at the investigation hearing?
It ain't the airlines license, it's YOURS.
IF you wish to throw it away, be my guest.
I would expect that the concerned regulatory authorities will be pleased to oblige.
For a very long time airlines have been advised to have at least an additional twenty minutes holding fuel upon arrival in the London TMA...why I wonder is this so difficult for some to understand?
If certain airlines/pilots think they are exempt from this requirement, what reason, pray tell, do they offer?
PS. Ironbutt57, send a CV, you and I just might get along.
