All of the gibberish we get about fuel is always retrospective. When I order fuel I'm making a prediction. World of difference.
A very succinct distinction.
Sadly though will not stop them trying and bar room bravado will ensure that despite much talk most fall into line and reduce fuel ordering. Control assured and works just fine performance managing people until one day that fuel was actually needed. The only person standing in the court being cross examined (should they survive) is the clown who gave away whatever it is they tell you for continued strict liability and all that entails in a court of law.
Union resistance or regulatory intervention....The magic eight balls says 'good luck with that'!
