But the point I'm making is that flying with minimum fuel would not have altered the outcome
- I am generally with you as you should know on the topic, but the point I was making is that if you are 'short' by F Reserve when the company may wish you to land with FR (+ cont) does focus the eyes a little and DID alter the outcome ie the engine flamed out! The fact that the topic has been 'demoted' to 'Spotters' amazes me - presumably by a '5 tonnes for mum' pilot?

........and 'normally' having div fuel when you park means you are NOT flying with EU-OPS min fuel a lot of the time - ie no div required if etc etc.
