Working in the corporate world I have to deal with the line crew and a regular basis. In the most case they are pretty reliable and do what I ask but it seems that the most simple tasks are sometimes just too difficult.
Last week I called in the fuel load to my FBO. I told them I would be departing around 8am so please take care of it the night before.
I get to the airport at 7am the next morning cause I was gonna have to leave 30 minutes early due to weather. My fuel had not been loaded on the aircraft.
When I asked the line guy why, he said that he was told I wouldn't be leaving until 8am. I had to inform him that sometimes we have to leave earlier due to unexpected strong winds aloft. He didn't comprehend that when I call in my load and ask for it done that night in case of this occurence that I want it done the night before, he just was like well....
I find this to be unacceptable.
This is the second time I didn't recieve my fuel. I didnt go to the FBO manager on this one but I wanted to.
Anyone have any stories like this and how did you address them. I don't want to make enemies with my line crew or FBO people cause they usually do take good care of me.
