Wings, I'm aware of at least 2 aircraft that landed with less than statutory final fuel reserves on this day.
Which ones were those and did they land with < reserves or was that what was in the tanks at the gate after XX mins taxi and some APU usage?

Instead of the wake-up call this day (arguably) should be, it may be brushed aside and fuel policies amended by other operators aiming to maintain a competitive business.
Maybe I'm looking at this from the wrong angle but what went *really* wrong in Spain that day? What are you suggesting as a modification to the rules that would have made things "better"?
