Looming Jet Fuel Shortages?

[Quickstatus]

it’s about government action in the event major disruption.

However, the action is going to be very different when the issue is a fuel shortage or potential fuel shortage

I think despite the loud noise from media about 'We are running out of fuel', it seems the government is handling it reasonably well, but the supply is currently secured on a month by month basis.

First we were thinking fuel shortage after Easter, then late April, and now we are into May.

Perhaps in May we can hear they are secured in June and so forth. So I think unless we start to see substantial fall on fuel reserve otherwise I think there's nothing to worried about other than cost of living right now.

That sounds very class conscious.

People in Y have just as many rights to travel as anyone else.

Budget airlines generally have higher passenger loads and less luggage and I would think are a more efficient use of fuel if we need to conserve fuel.

Regrettably, I don't think successful and important people would like to travel with someone who like to put their bare feet beside me, or get drunk or being erratic enough to disrupt my next important conference somewhere.

I do believe if fuel levels get to that bare, perhaps getting more people on the same plane would save fuel, maybe then we should also work from home to save even more fuel and avoid unnecessary travels.

I have noticed that during these 2 weeks there're a lot less cars on the streets than before Easter, and I thought that would be because of School Holidays. I would suggest in the event of fuel crisis, we should stop in person school and university attendance which would significantly reduce fuel use in our country.

Sometimes they are one and the same.
Successful and important but what measure? Being in the pointy end.?Pfft.
