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.
