Has someone done this yet? If not, how does it get done?

If you knew how busy a G4 dx using un-integrated systems is and the number of flights they are responsible for you might understand how a flight could be planed for on time and then when the delay happens the lack of time to go back and adjust for a time specific TFR. It's a two way street and a reason the PIC is provided NOTAMS as part of the release. Realisticly the dx options were to pre-emptively add hold fuel for an on time arrival or use joint operational control and let the PIC call to discuss the issue. But in this case the PIC never read the NOTAMS.
dispatchers and make thaircrew responsible for all aspects of every flight. At least the flight crew would know where they stood in the form of back office admin.[/QUOTE]

To be fair, we haven't allowed UM's (other than for company employees) in a while. Any story saying we left a UM or lost a UM would be incorrect. Kids between 15-18 can't even fly without an adult on a flight that is weather advised.

The best part of that exchange is when Mr director of safety is asking the controller for the administrator phone number and it’s in the notams that he continues not to reference. When crews are called into vegas to have one of his b.s. safety meetings, he monday quarter backs every aspect of the flight, making every effort to humiliate and bring into question the competency of the crew.
And then on the heels of terminating one of our captains who does what he thought was in the best interest of safety. Absolute hypocrisy.

About 15 minutes prior to landing he says he doesn't have enough gas to go 75 miles to a second airport. He'd already known for some unknown amount of time that FAR was closed.
Brings up some questions -
Why didn't he bingo out when he learned that?
How much gas did he land with?
Did he keep pushing on to FAR and himself into an emergency situation?
Or did he use the threat of an 'emergency', that might have been easily avoidable(?), to land at FAR?
It's only two days ago. The fueler probably remembers the gauge readings.

You know damn well they held trying to get the airport open and didn't want to divert and have to explain to the passengers why. I'm also curious what they landed with.

According to what I heard, 4200lbs. Assuming that's accurate.
