Because you were speculating on what could possibly be done and what might happen with the off-loaded fuel. So speculating on the future use of that fuel isn't what speculating on oil futures means. There's no guarantee that the fuel could be reused by AA so to risk all that time, trouble, and cost, for what could, might, should, or otherwise may or may not to happen is hardly likely to be a money saver.
