Now thats good information! So if this is true RYR was disciplining crews for taking more taxi fuel then RYR put on the plog, even though this fuel was required for planning purposes.

Frankly this is ridiculous, as commanders we are allowed and indeed required to change the fuel numbers on the plog to reflect the actual planning situation. The plog is only the idea of a computer, thus thee can be mistakes, its not neccesarily a reflection of the actual planning conditions.
The number that roles out after adjustments is the minumum fuel required, on top of that extra fuel can be added.
I see no reason whatsoever to explain adjusting incorrect numbers!
