I was engaged to a Jewess once. I'm fucking glad THAT didn't work out. You've obviously not spent much time in Manchester then. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
So would everyone else who's ever got on a plane. Apart from those who own the aircraft and charge per seat, of course. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Having only "just" enough might make it fun doing the virtually obligatory 30 minutes of circling around Heathrow waiting for your landing slot. So they clearly have some margin of extra.
No. They will have ..... Oh. Sorry I thought that bit was obvious. Enough, Enough for alternate, some for reserve and a splash for luck. The main point I was trying to make was it's not like you can go to the pumps and fill it to the brim.

Heh, I worked on the Eurofighter when it was just a number (1) and hardly capable of even pointing in the right direction. (1) Not the EFA nor the Typhoon, just another number that might make it or might not. My claim to fame was that I did the final positional machining for the first model incorporating the canards that ended as the final design. I'd have been a multi millionaire if I'd had the right contacts and had managed to sell that information...
The galley would be empty (no food or beverages to be consumed on this aircraft unless purchased *in* the aircraft) and the pies would all be turning to shit inside the passengers (not that would be noticeable), but the weight would be the same. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
