Here is my advice, in three sentences. Don’t panic. The fuel supply issue is more of a logistical headache than a safety meltdown. And do bring a packed lunch, because airport food prices are a crime against humanity that not even fuel can fix.
So, as you’re sitting at the gate, watching a fuel truck do a slow lap of the plane, remember this: You are now part of the supply chain. You are a crucial node in the global kerosene economy. Be alert, be flexible, and most importantly, be grateful you’re not the guy who has to drive that truck. He’s probably the one running late.
