It's cheaper to burn fuel hauling fuel for the next leg than to buy it in California. Interesting.
It's surprisingly true. Of course the computers calculate just how much is cost-effective. But as a pilot, I love to tanker...never can have enough fuel!
You know I have had MANY arguments with the "powers to be" over fuel loads in my 35 yrs. and I have NEVER lost one of those arguments. Also I have never had an "in-flight" fuel quantity issue as well!

Lol, fortunately our company is good at respecting our requests ;)
Captain Aux goes viral! Love it!
BTW, I remember a pilot once saying "You can never have too much fuel - unless you are on fire!" LOL!
Keep up the great work!

If you ever get the urge to visit the South Pacific, you are welcome here. We moved to the Philippines after the '08 election. I retired in 2007 (health issues). If your family would like to see the world like it was in the 1950's (with cell phones), our door is open.
Arthur where in the PI are you, my wife and I have a home in Puerto Galera?

Hello Don,
We live in Metro Manila (Q.C.), about 18km (11mi) NE of Ninoy Intl. Airport. Right under the turbojet downwind/base turn for 24. After I attended one of the Pilot get-togethers here, when we sit on our roof deck with the lights on, we get some LL flashes now...hehehe.. That sure makes you feel good.
