Whether or not the EOW is a fact or not, 500 lbs is 500 lbs. If you’ve done any of the Canada stuff out of DFW, particularly in winter, and need an alternate you have to bump pax. 500 pounds of gas is a couple of revenue pax that might be left behind. And as much as the company complains about hauling extra gas, they aren’t going to haul extra equipment all over the system that is not necessary.
