Traf & Dragon - spot on!
I've never (apart from Cat B etc) taken more fuel than I needed, and I've never departed with less fuel than I feel comfortable with.

I did choose to voluntarily receive the "where t f am I on the fuel carry list", but that was not because I was concerned about if I was taking too much/too little, it was merely a passing interest to see where I sat.
I did not change my attitude to taking fuel, or reducing it, I continue to do what feels both right, safe and commercially correct.

But for other crew now having these figures rammed down their throat, I'm concerned about the not so subtle pressure being applied to some individuals who through either lack of spine or an un-natural desire to be submissive, will start to take less than is safe.
