Yeah & get the math right ! I picked up a flight outa Mumbai to Bahrain & noticed we had, about, ten tons more than we needed. Stopped laughing when I was called in to the Office to explain ! Previous Captain was well connected & the matter was laughed off. Oh, heady days of cheap fuel. Remember too that it can COST more to tank lots of fuel than can reasonably saved by doing so. Finally, in my last two widebodies, MLW was always the decider. MLW +burn resulted in the lowest RTOW, even on Manilla to BAH.
