73Qanda, this was your statement from a few days ago that had me wide eyed with incredulity:
For all the uneducated readers out there;
If you're on a Qantas or Virginia Australia jet, the company has instructed the Captain that he or she must ensure that at all times while airborne, there is sufficient fuel in the tanks to fly to an airport that has not dropped below the alternate weather requirements, or if it has, they have the fuel to hold until it is better again.
It was the "at all times" bit that got me. I see from your posts since then that you realise the "at all times" is not really "at all times"!
