I think they did an excellent job flying as they were told with no question and zero event, we can’t blame them but we may blame the printer (at least that is what I was told when I could not find my bag in Frankfut lauggage hall but I was told 3 days later they found it, and it come with a tag from Barcelona ;) )

Exactly. Guy I know here flies T7s for one of the majors and that’s exactly how they operate.
I wonder what happens when the pack given to the pilots and the docket given to the fuellers don’t match.
Timotyh, Gimly glider? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider :)
But on the serious node, captain should check if the total amount of fuel loaded matches the planned fuel, right?

Yes, but my point is that if the planning system has broken down to this extent, who knows who has got which bit of what plan?
Isn’t the pilot supposed the check with the fuel truck man that the correct fuel got loaded?
Actually I wonder if airliners (the BAE 146 is a “sort of airliner” 
) have a fuel totaliser which works in both directions, or just fuel gauges? I spoke to one airline pilot who didn’t know (!!) but another one thought the fuel totaliser measured what goes in as well as what comes out.
Most airliners have a refuel panel which the refueller operates – the refuel fills automatically until the selected uplift is shut off – this one is an A320
Given the crew/plane went to the ‘right’ place per their planning and paperwork and it’s just the passengers to whom the destination was ‘wrong’, surely it is a simple case of a gate cock-up and the wrong set of passengers being herded onto the wrong plane.

Who knows?
I mean that literally….who knows?
Wonder whose / which baggage was in the hold !! – assume must have been some.
