Hmm...
Quoted: But on some of these European routes, the 757, with a range of 3,900 nautical miles, cuts it a little close. Barcelona is 3,398 nautical miles from Newark. Throw weather and holding patterns into the mix, and you're not leaving much room for error. Perhaps not coincidentally, Barcelona-Newark is one of the routes where the FAA found that pilots most often made fuel declarations.

whoa, this is one of the first really bad things i've heard about continental recently. it'd be in their best interest to take care of this ASAP obviously for safety reasons, but also to protect their status as such a good airline...
That is scary
oh nice
As a "benefit", if you flight is running low on fuel, you get to land before all the other planes.
