The fact of the matter is they put on the bare minimum of fuel on at Boeing Field because they were paying for the gas (joyride) and wanted to save .04 cents/gallons and put more fuel on at Everett. When they start losing engines they were close to Everett. So why didn't they land there? After all that's were the planes maintainence base is, because there cars were at Boeing Field!
