So why doesn't MOL lobby EASA to reduce its minimum fuel requirements? Every flight could operate as a 'refile in flight'. Going to PMI with BCN as ALTN. File and fuel to BCN and then refile/replan to PMI at TOD for BCN. NO expected delays. no Wx problems etc. RYR would save a fortune if they did this on all their EU flights. There'd be a lot of MayDays as crews were landing with 30mins fuel, but hey, what the hell. No crashes and everybody safe.
