So lets say you work for an airline, let's call it Brian Airways, and they have a reputation for bullying their pilots.
So you are called in for an interview as you are consistently taking more than minimum fuel. You show how brave you are and the result is that you are sacked. Which is easy to do as you are only a contractor anyway.
What now? Who do you go and work for now? You have a mortgage to pay, kids to feed.
What few airlines that are recruiting now are unlikely to recruit you with that stigma attached to you.
Any Captain who would allow management to dictate how much fuel he/she takes on is a coward and not fit to be a Captain.
That is a crass and ignorant statement.
I am no fan of Brian Airways but I do respect their pilots.
