I have sympathy for a desire to gradually move closer to a list like that, but I want a consensus on what the first step should be. We could introduce an Extra Fuel field per aircraft and get rid of the existing Holding Time field, but that is a potentially breaking change for everyone who has already made use of the Holding Time field and planned flights accordingly.
