Hiya Duck,

I understand you're just the messenger. So I won't shoot the duck.

Over 80 minutes, he lost that much fuel. Did they get hit by a scud missile ?
A whole that big that they missed the 20 foot by 20 foot puddle of jet-A under the wing on the walkaround ??????

If I remember correctly, back in 2002/2003 when I flew for TWA/American the flight plans had fuel remaining/fuel burn at each checkpoint. In addition, the 757 FMS has fuel totalizer readouts (what is actually in the plane) and compares it to a calculated fuel burn (what should be in the plane). The magic box will flash messages if there is a disagreement.

Sounds fishy.
