FRFO, my opinion on Ryanair contracts is documented somewhere hereabouts. Briefly, no, I don't think it is reasonable.
To stand up to management you need a spine, or balls but preferably both and the law. It seems that Ryanair ask you to justify your fuel decision making. If there was no justification to carry extra fuel then did it need to be carried?
Shaun, you don't say! I'm not alluding to anything. I asked you a question. You said that 200 kgs extra was a bit too close to the wire, I take it from that that you always carry more than 200 kgs extra fuel so you aren't as close to the wire as you would be. Why? What's the wire?
And if you think it's the bare minimum then I politely suggest you revisit the fuel planning section of your Ops manual.
