It seems from all reports that had the Qatar crew not declared an emergency then they would have landed below minimum final reserve. Our ops manual tells us that we must declare an emergency if we expect to land with less than final reserve. The fact that they landed with a little bit more suggests they did exactly the right thing. I am with Wizofoz and most other posters on this one...well handled.
