re: #23 Alouette

WTF?

My daughter just called. The flight that she and my son & his family were on had to land in Allentown PA because they ran out of fuel.

This is a Delta flight between two major airports.

Maybe the fuel gauge was reading wrong. Of course, you would think the preflight check would compare the reading of the onboard gauge to the amount of fuel actually pumped. But with thousands upon thousands of flights, can you really expect this to NEVER happen?
