Just thought I'd bump this up again.

At your company, VMC wx, how much over min FAR fuel do you normally dispatch with, and do most Capts accept that?

I figure you're asking in terms of time, since pounds likely won't mean much of a measure.

Generally 45 minutes to one hour over VMC mins. Very conservative and acceptable. Equates to about 1500 pounds.
