I do agree that the tv-show (can't call it anything else) was highlighting other issues. But those extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The only evidence offered were those mayday calls. You can't base a show which alludes that FR-pilots do not take enough fuel, on an incident in which ALL involved pilots took on far more fuel than legally required!

During the show it was repeated many times that passengers don't realise that the cheap tickets FR offers are a direct result of pilots not taking enough fuel. Which is a very dubious claim


And no, I do not work for FR!
