We will have to agree to disagree on this one lP. I fully understand my obligations regarding carrying the appropriate amount of fuel and using my experience over 24 years of professional aviation to judge when a forecast or TTF is not giving me the complete story. I can also have a good guess at when a westerly in Sydney is going to reduce it single runway ops and the need to take extra holding.
It is however impossible to extrapolate "in excess of" into any meaningful units of fuel to carry to satisfy the regulatory and Company requirements. Especially when this information is provided to me once I am airborne.
Thankyou for your explanation of why it occurred, it helps to shape my future decision making, which the refueller will be very happy with but my employer wont be.
