was just curious about how much fuel they’d be carrying on a short leg if they did indeed take vectors to burn it off. And, serious question, how much would they burn doing what was basically 2 turns in holding, even at low altitude, gear down, APU running, etc.? I’m not dinging the crew here, I’ve just never flown the 737.
A 737 Msy-Dfw will take around
14000-15000 lbs of fuel. Expect to burn around 8000-8500 lbs en route on an approx. 75 minute flight.
