Anyone who doesn't book a ticket on US Airways because they think there won't be enough fuel on the airplane made the same mistake you did, though. They didn't listen to the FULL argument. The pilots are willing to put enough fuel on that airplane and make the flight safe, despite management's moves to do otherwise.
