Who said "fumes".....for that matter, who said that the arrival fuel was below any minimums or even usual A330 arrival fuel amounts? Please direct me to the line in the transcript. Otherwise, you're just manufacturing BS and can't be taken seriously.
Here you go:
it says ETA,
13 estimated time in route, 12 hours and 20
14 minutes.
15 So the previous letter said the
16 company is not allowed to operate the aircraft
17 in excess of 12 hours, yet they generate a
18 flight plan that is in excess of 12 hours. So
19 this flight plan is in violation of the FAA
20 regulations and it's in violation of the
21 Northwest collective bargaining agreement as
22 well.
23 There's a curious line down -- and
24 this is something that all airlines do. But
25 if you read down, you see ATC call sign with
2 asterisks on both sides and the line says,
3 "Released to CTS, subject to rerelease on to
4 ICN," which is Seoul, Enshon over -- so what
5 they do is they put a minimum load of fuel to
6 get to this long distance and you actually can
7 see that with some of the other statistics on
8 the fuel.
9 They arrive at Seoul with a bare
10 minimum of fuel. And they pointed out the
11 distance of 4,982 miles. Obviously the point
12 is that it is capable of making this distance.
13 Of course there's no cargo on the aircraft to
14 make that distance.
