I do too! You should always have more in case of problems to cover the possible need that arrises! What is they were forced to circle the airport, what could they do but be forced to land! What if they get into bad weather causing stronger turbulance, that takes more gas to keep control! Morons who don't understand the effects that can be caused are making these calls and places peoples lifes at a higher risk!

...the simple answer that was ignored 8 years ago is to fix the out dated FAA , it was at the breaking point in the last days of Bill Clinton and at that time we had two choices 1 spend trillions to buy a few years more time for the old system or 2 switch to a “fly free” program . Switching would have cost a bit under 350 billion (over 4 years) and would have cut fuel consumption by as much as 50% while setting our air traffic up for another 100 years...Billy in his last 90 days in office signed the bill that authorized the expenditure of 2.4 trillion dollars to stick with the old program...this had two consequences 1st it added 1.1 trillion dollars to the first “Bush” budget and 2nd it burned hundreds of billions of gallons of jet fuel over the past 7 years .....thanks Bill !

Airlines are a big scam anyhow, they overcharge us, treat us like cattle, and are very rude to their customers. I try to avoid flying..see when i drive at least my luggage stays with me and isnt "lost". I deal with NO snobby flight attendants, and I certainly dont get "delayed" for 5 hours in any kind of rush hour traffic.
And even with the high costs of fuel...its cheaper to drive.

Well, I hate flying so it doesn't directly affect me, but if I did or a love one was getting on a plane, one never knows these days WHAT MAY HAPPENED????///// SO I BE AFRAID VERY AFRAID......."Attention, all passengers we regret to informed you WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND NO WHERE TO PARK, GET YOU PARACHUTES ON......AND GET ON THE PLANK........LOL......not funny but it may well happen.........GOD BLESS ALL THE RIDERS

....TG , remember when pilots would dump all the excess fuel on approach to the air port as a “safety measure” ...LOL
