Hello Ron,

When you fly a Boeing 737-800 as part of a flight that you created, during
the pre-flight checklist, Michelle will ask you whether or not you want her
to contact ground operations in order to perform fuel loading operations.

When you fly a Boeing 737-800 as part of an IYP-Virtual Air flight, during
the pre-flight checklist, Michelle DOES NOT offer to contact ground
operations in order to perform fuel loading operations. Why? Because all
IYP-VA flights are pre-loaded by ground operations with the correct amount
of fuel.

I hope this is clear.

Regards,
Robert
