Why are y'all dipping that far into your reserves anyway?

I’ll make it simple for you “Ace”.

At what point are you going to declare min fuel, and then at what point would you declare a fuel emergency?

I’ll give you a hint, the dispatch release provides these numbers already.

I don't believe it was "Pilots". It was one pilot that did it at least twice because she was following the book and it stated to divert if the divert fuel number was reached during the Dash days. So the company changed the book to allow someone on final to continue the approach below divert fuel but they should never go below final divert fuel.

Better question is why reinvent the wheel with these ridiculous terms called “divert” and “final divert”?

Right? Are the minutes before closing the door before departure known as the “final countdown” ?

is the farthest alternate the “final destination”?

could have a lot of fun with all these terms…

It's worth mentioning that CommutAir is not the only airline with procedures designed to enforce common sense due to some event that happened in the past.

There are plenty of reasonable complaints to make about this place. Focusing on this one seems rather silly.

Training continues to get better. Paper weight and balance is gone at the end of the month. I still see Mesa guys standing at printers getting released while I get mine on an iPad. There are worse airlines to work for, just not very many.

Wait, what do you mean about paper weight and balance?
Surely each flight isn’t manually computed?

Paper has been gone for a while. It has been via acars for years.

Unfortunately, there is one dumb butt at corporate that does not want to part ways with the 1970's. If it is not his idea, then it won't work and is immediately shot down.
