Wow I often wonder why measures such as gallons are used still. I recall a B767 landing in Canadian fields years ago because of fuelling using the 'wrong' gallon measure(!). Is there any progress to use a measure based on its general use worldwide and its constancy? In this respect would litres be a better, safer measure? On a similar theme but away from aircraft, I'd love paper for company use to be standardized worldwide. It's farcical having the US & Canada three hole different size paper It is the USA. It must be a genetic brain defect when born there. In regards to the 767 landing at Gimli, pounds were used instead of the Kg. Regulation says to use Kg while refueling, but the guys in the USA were still converting to pounds and in this case were using the same number of pounds as Kg ordered. In addition, the US gallon is smaller then the English or Imperial gallon!

i just wonder, how much of this is posturing and how much is actual meaningful conversation? he really would not want to tip his hand early and lose any potential savings. sucks to see the A380 being retired too...
