Just read this weekend where airlines are just putting 45 minutes of extra fuel on board because it helps out the bottom line. A number of airlines have had to declare emergencies in order to be first in line to land.
So, if you are waiting a long time on the tarmac before takeoff, and the Captain says we have a 100 knot head wind, and your flight is 30 minutes late, cinch up that seat belt really tight cause he is going to bring it in hot and hope there is enough fuel to run the thrust reversers.
Remember American's stupid saying, "We know why you fly"
Have a nice day and enjoy your flight!!!
