No, I am not. You're right, nothing is absolutely necessary, there is not point arguing about this.

But let say that if I had to cancel one flight to save money / fuel, I would cancel this one rather than a standard flight.

But dude, football! And the twelfth man! And stuff!

Don't you hate when arguments get to this point?

You know what else isn't a waste of fuel? Dumping thousands of gallons of it onto the ground and burning it. I mean, who doesn't enjoy a good bonfire, right? You cannot prove that I don't!

Apparently, this route was the result of a test flight. Really the only legitimate explanation for something like this.

So you would cancel this test flight of a new 747 freighter variant and possibly end a multi million dollar program just because they flew it in the pattern of the number 12?
That sounds an awful lot like "we don't have enough time to test our code"
