With a storm system like last night, it might be their fault for not ground holding acft in the field though. They surely knew it was coming.

Out of curiosity from a non-Fedex'r, what kind of FOD's were GOC planning to land you guys with the other night. 50 diversions was the last I counted. We got lucky here in Looneyville and the worst of the wx stayed south of us.

I was one of the 69 diverts. Most were due to low fuel due to mother nature. Best bet would've left more jets on the ground and waited it out. Instead, we launched a huge wave hoping to get in before it hit the fan.

Where in the Fuel Sense Initiative does it say that a crew cannot use their own sound, professional judgement to ensure that there is enough fuel for the flight? By the way, who said that the fuel sense initiative was the crew's fault? Did you read it?
