Willy Wavers
Gentlepeople, instead of all this willy waving as to who has the best fuel policy, I think it all comes down to a more basic analysis.
QANTAS has now on multiple occassions, needed to carryout unlawful autolands to get themselves out of a situation generated by a bad combination of fuel policy and inept weather forecasting.
What other operators have had similar experiences and how often has this occurred?
If other operators are not having a similar strike rate, then why not?
It is my understanding that most other operators simply bug out to a more suitable airport.
Why is it that QANTAS do not follow the same procedure?
Surely these are questions an honest regulator should be asking.
