Dont like the landing fuel just divert when things get dicey! All those block fuel amounts are historical. They will get lower and lower until the data says "ummmm maybe not" Just the facts!

Not to worry NERD! I'm off for the next week!

Standing by for FTB to jump in and tell us how the -88 don't need no fuel, the -88 don't care......

I'd say that the 73 don't care, but it does....sometimes way too much. Bish.

So did they use the slides or just the back door?

Passengers and crew were evacuated from a Delta Airlines flight at Logan International Airport today after a problem occurred with the plane before takeoff.

Flight 2101 was bound for Atlanta, Ga. The 143 passengers and six crew members on board were uninjured. They deplaned without the use of any emergency equipment and were bused back to the terminal, Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman Matt Brelis said.

“All passengers are safe, the situation is currently being handled,” airport officials said in a tweet.

The plane remains on the airfield and Massport fire trucks have responded.

“The airline and authorities will investigate,” airport officials said in a tweet.

No further information about the nature of the problem was immediately available.

What do I see? 7000 lbs more often than not. 6-9k normal, more if you tankered or had reserve fuel you didn't use.
