Hmm, let's see. OP, an experienced traveller by the account description, posts at 9:21pm about an event that I have experienced once (maybe) in around 60-70 JER-LGW sectors. A bizarre link is drawn between fuel surcharges and disembarkation priority.

I can't help wondering if perhaps the OP indulged in a little too much 'Liberation Ale' (a fine and welcome addition to the JER drinks fridge) last night?

Mind you, the bizarre nature of the thread along with the perplexed replies is also an interesting insight as to why this forum has a slight reputation for not suffering fools gladly.
