We worked out how much fuel we needed to carry based on advisory traffic holding information and weather forecasts ten hours ago. If we turn up and due to some unexpected development in the intervening several hours there is now bulk holding, it’s not really our fault we haven’t turned up with hours of extra gas. I think it’s quite reasonable to advise holding endurance if major delays have developed.
