But weather’s such a game changer — i once had to reroute due to sudden storms — led to a different fuel strategy. Anyone stay updated on how that affects environmental regulations? :cloud_with_rain:.

Navigating weather changes can really shift your fuel strategy. I remember a flight where we had to adjust our route mid-air due to storms; it definitely impacted fuel use and cost. @Guide, it’s interesting how those decisions ripple back to environmental regulations too, especially with the latest discussions on sustainable aviation fuels.
