How many 'whoopsies' are you guys going to plan for? A G/A at alternate??? Holding for 50 mins at alternate? These things are just NOT part of normal fuel planning. They are what PAN and MAYDAY are for. Are you going to plan for the Boeing 'Gear Lever jammed' or Gear will not extend manually' checklist from the Classic days as well? 3800kg minimum I recall to run the checklist.
