Best answer I've ever heard about fuel disputes is...OK, sounds like you're taking me off the flight, which hotel am I going to...but, but, but
Well, we both have to agree and I think we need an extra 3k and you don't. Since we can't come to an agreement, I'm assuming you intend to replace me with someone who might acquiesce to your plan

I have never had a distpatcher question me adding fuel and I add on probably 1/4 of my flights. I will however not take any stored flight plan routes right up a frontal line anymore. I make them do their job and flight plan according to the weather.

It doesn't matter what anybody thinks about my gas. I want gas, I get gas, I don't get gas, I go home. Period. In all fairness, nobody's ever questioned me. There has been a time or two I actually felt Goc was relieved whenI put gas on.

There was a big meeting today. Didn't attend due to other obligations. Was a "social" last light at a sports bar in Hacks Cross. Very good attendance (free food + pilots = good attendance 
). Well attended by the MEC and good info, if you could find time to put down the wings.
While rumors suggest good things, don't take your eye off the ball. Several sources suggest we are having very good affect on getting attention from the parts of the organization that can make things happen. Stay tuned, but don't pop the sparkly yet.
