ATC Handling of Low-Fuel American Flight

I believe the closest would have been Love based on the point at which he

so I suspect you already knew that Matt.

Did you see the plot I posted in a similar thread? DAL and DFW 17C were
the same distance from his position at declaration.

Check the message I left pointing to the graphic, in which I give the
Part 121 perspective.

Just saw it Sam. Nice perspective and probably pretty accurate too. I am no
way advocating that ATC did right, I was just wondering if the actions of
the aircrew might seem inconsistent with their declarations. I'm not sure
that can be answered, but it really shouldn't matter either.
