I positioned recently with a Ryanair flight.
A thunderstorm was rolling in over the airport, really violent one, lightning all over the place.
But Ryanair decided to continue the fueling, AND board passengers.
I stayed outside until the fueling was terminated, in the pouring rain.
There was in my company a Captain, ex. FR who claimed to have introduced the fuel policy in FR.
We have one fuel policy: Bloody put enough to land at destination and feel comfortable. A diversion always is more expensive than a couple of hundred kilos more fuel.
Fuel is completely Crew discretion.
The bullying of FR towards is employees, passengers , airports and authorities is simply an insult to the profession.
Bullying ALWAYS results in compromised safety. And this is something FR is NOT able to deny.
