Please don't blame the dispatchers for the lack of common sense, it is not encouraged and even the wording "suggest extra fuel for..."is not allowed by order of TCAS. Instead they just have to plan minimum and write "consider extra fuel for..."
You're out of touch, Schil.
Dispatchers are putting extra fuel on regularly, often much more than seem reasonable.
Good for them. What i don't get is why their judgement is supposed to be so much more reliable than mine...
