Jyri, is that you?

brakes however, took 2 hours to cool to the point where we could taxi again at a station that had no brake fans
OK, guess that was a stupid question.

Would make sense if it was LAS-BUR, but this is BUR-LAS.

Why would they be flying at FL380 to burn off fuel?

Ouch, good point. Didn’t see that.

How about…fueler in Burbank was so busy on the “Gram” that he fueled the plane to 40,000 pounds instead of 10,000 pounds.

That “gram” be distracting people

Maybe there was a sigmet for severe turbulence on the more direct route and they didn’t want to risk it.

These are the same type of rampers who stand directly in front of a cart in the safety zone and don’t understand why we won’t taxi in
