23. Well put. Fuel planning en-route is probably the biggest part of a pilot's job.

That holding pattern over PVD inbound to a snowy KBOS brings challenges. How long can I hold? How is my alternate (KBDL)? Is everybody diverting to KBDL? The Europe in-bounds to JFK? They love KBDL as an alternate. JFK is down to 1/4 mile in blowing snow. Then maybe I should divert to KALB. Gate space. But KALB is CAT-1. KSYR is still open. We are legal for KSYR with KBUF as an alternate. DO IT!
