The very second that someone comes up short on fuel it’ll be “he was the captain and should have reasonably been expected to make a judgment in that situation that more fuel should’ve been added”

Curious, do you guys have a fuel tankering program. Buy where its cheap and drag it round trip because some bean-counter promised higher ups huge savings?

Welp no matter what punishment they throw on us I’m sure it can’t be worse than a min fuel situation, with the possibility of losing your certifcate or even worse dying. So they can do whatever they want. I won’t be taking aircraft with a sketchy amount of fuel. Sorry.

Never say "it can't get worse than this". Every time I said it, the company proved me wrong.

The reality is most of us will not push the flight that far. If we have to, we will divert. If that happens a few times, the company will start adding more fuel. Either that or create a "divert list"!

Another thought...I hope the company doesn't count the "Captain Add List" against you when it's time to flow.

Didn't an Eagle crew land at an unapproved GA airport because they got closed in and had min fuel?

If you carry fire extinguishers on the plane and don’t ever use them, do they add you to a list as well? Asking for a friend.

If it is real, lawyers will have a field day in court. To say their clients got added to a naughty list for being more cautious/safe, unreal.

This. Can multiple sources confirm this? Or is this a post to just stir up the pot.
