I am glad that people have calmed down a bit on this thread.
I would be grateful if people could please remember that this forum is here to answer queries of a technical nature. It is not intended for people in one profession to score points off another, nor for anyone to say that today's pilots know nothing - in my day... etc. etc., nor for anyone to shoot from the hip without knowing any of the facts in a given situation.
Roger did not specify which airline was responsible, so there is no excuse for anyone to crow about foreign airlines being worse than UK airlines, or foreign pilots. There is no evidence that the crew planned to arrive in the hold with as little fuel as they appear to have had.
There is no cause to castigate Roger for wondering about the crew not declaring an emergency. There is such as a thing as a fuel emergency. You merely call it as a Mayday. You do not call "fuel emergency".
I hope to see better behaviour here in future, with fewer attempts at scoring points and more assistance to people asking perfectly sensible questions. Some posters run very close to the line. This is not a wise course of action.
