Did get to speak to captain after landing at George Bush, but only very briefly, due to very tight flight connection! By posting this question I was not being critical, just curious as to the differences in the US to the UK! Have nothing but respect for you guys having spent 35 years in airport fire and rescue and dealing with many fuel emergencies due to weather.
