Now that oil has tanked 20% since their profit announcement; Maybe EK will put enough fuel to NOT declare a mayday in case a go-around and stop sending threatening emails to pilots who load a few extra tons for "wife and baby"

"Commit to destination with known approach time" what bullcrap. One can NEVER without doubt EVER commit to any destination. There is always some possibility; windshear, late aircraft vacating runway etc etc.
