Fuel margins don't have to be big.

IFR flights require flight to destination, then alternate, with 30 minutes of fuel left when you land. You land a plane with less than 30 minutes left, you've got hell to pay - and maybe lose your ticket.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
