737 NG operators, how much fuel do you land with?

OMG?? Seriously, you sound like my 14 year old daughter. (Only she would proofread what she wrote before hitting send). Then again your screen name is slaquer(?).

Hey StopNTsing,
All due respect--you are correct, I didn't "read" your sarcasm. Hell, if I were reading about SW guys routinely rolling out with main tank lights illuminated I would consider that not just dangerous, but reckless. Thanks for the clarification and correction.

funny

You sound like the over age 60 guys

I call BS on that one...

Really
I was on jumpseat once MCO - FLL and on climb out - fuel pump lights came on on overhead

Easy to happen. Light load ,not a lot of fuel and pitch at 20 degrees or above .

I've had the centers light up on takeoff, but the mains on landing? WTF.

Seriously!!! that's what I was thinking too...

Must be another one of the Arctic "badge of honor" things the Humbolts of the south land will never understand. No wonder there's so much oversight up there.

So based on this sample pool UA does haul the most gas.

How about single engine taxi? At UA I would guess it to be about ten percent of the time.

Y'all would freak out flying in Asia (Japan). "Min fuel" = 30 minutes. "Emergency Fuel" = 20 minutes, with a "Mayday" call. You do the math.

Routinely, if a flight deviates to an alternate, and you fly to the plan, you will land with less than 4000#, which is about 45 min. of fuel.
