LTT DEPARTS WITHOUT PROPER FUEL REQUIRED FOR NEW DISPATCH RELEASE WHICH CAPT MISSED.

Narrative

WE HAD DEPARTED COLLEGE STATION; TX; AND WERE ENRTE TO DFW. DURING CRUISE; THE CAPT DISCOVERED THAT HE HAD BEEN GIVEN A NEW DISPATCH RELEASE IN CLL. HOWEVER; HE HAD NOT REALIZED THIS BEFORE DEP. THEREFORE; WE WERE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE MIN FUEL REQUIREMENT OF 3000 POUNDS. INSTEAD; WE HAD DEPARTED WITH 2400 POUNDS FROM THE OLD DISPATCH RELEASE; PLUS THE NEW RELEASE SHOWED TYR AS OUR ALTERNATE. THE CAPT LOOKED AT THE NEW FORECAST FOR DFW AND SAID WE DID NOT NEED AN ALTERNATE; AND SINCE HE HAD NOT SIGNED THE SECOND COPY OF THE RELEASE IN CLL; HE SIMPLY DISCARDED THE NEW RELEASE. THE REASON FOR THE OVERSIGHT; I BELIEVE; WAS AS FOLLOWS: CLL GND PERSONNEL ARE NOT FULLY FAMILIAR WITH OUR 121 OP; SINCE THEY ALSO SVC OUR 135 OP. THEREFORE; THEY SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT US THE RELEASE IN DUPLICATE AND ASKED THE CAPT TO SIGN ONE OF THEM FOR THEIR RECORDS. THEY FAILED TO DO THIS; THEREFORE; THE CAPT THOUGHT IT WAS MERELY THE NEW WX PRINTOUT. ALSO; THIS CAPT DOES NOT LIKE TO SHARE PRINTOUT INFO WITH HIS FO AND USUALLY KEEPS THIS INFO ON HIS SIDE OF THE COCKPIT; THEREFORE REDUCING REDUNDANCY IN THE COCKPIT IN THE THAT CONTEXT. SO; HE DID NOT SHARE THE PRINTOUT WITH ME BEFORE DEP. TO REDUCE THE PROBLEM: THE 121 DISPATCHER SHOULD BE SATISFIED THAT HIS NEW RELEASE HAS REACHED THE CREW SOMEHOW! AND THERE SHOULD BE BOTH SIGNATURES REQUIRED ON THE RELEASE: CAPT AND FO.
