    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.

    So would everyone else who's ever got on a plane.

    Apart from those who own the aircraft and charge per seat, of course.

    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.

  6. No, it was a rather large Aussie (for 1979...).

    There's always less fuel at the landing, so they shouldn't be bothered by
    weight at that time.

    Well that's only got wings to keep the engine pointing in the right
    direction though surely. :)

    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.
