Given reported winds at various altitudes, the box was showing us landing with just over 2000 FOB (what company likes to plan for, by the way). Unfortunately, those calmer winds failed to materialize, leaving us at low altitude over the Sea of Michigan. Taken with adverse winds and the hub's "bank" at the same time, nothing happened quickly. Min-fuel was declared, and at 1200 as per SOP, Emergency would have been declared as well.

We followed all company guidance regarding the matter, did not divert unnecessarily, and even got the folks at the gate within A:14. Remember, it is not a requirement to land with specified reserves. Would you have immediately diverted at 2000 lbs FOB??

I know that you are not typically argumentative, so if you are going to question my crew's judgement, please be a bit more tactful?
