WOW, common sense is really dead. It has been murdered by liability driven processes and procedure......
EDIT.. on the fuel issue. Operating an MD-11F PW4000 engined aircraft, had to divert because we were overloaded. APU inop and the airport did not have 2 huffers to start engines. Spent 20 minutes taking and throwing nut shots with the island airport to convince them they had no other choice to fuel us up with #2 eng running to get us back in the air. Not sure I won as the island had some great beaches..
