"I JUST FEEL LIKE I NEED 1K FUEL EXTRA (while yall are already weight restricted and they have a required alt planned for KDEN, with everything remarked fine on the release)".

Ops called me one day saying Captain requested an extra 1500lbs and asked if that was ok... I immediately called the Captain and asked if he'd even seen the release because flight was planned with an extra 6 grand in tanker fuel and that an additional 1500lbs of pointless gas would cause a weight restriction.
 
Doesnt bother me. If they want more fuel we have a conversation. If i can swing it, i do. If not then i explain why. These things work themselves out. Just part of the job. I'd much rather he call then not call, fuel it himself and put the plane overweight.
 
I go by the approach of "its their butts in the seat and I'm 1000 miles away". So if they want the extra fuel it is on them.

Sure most of the time they don't need it or it's accounted for. But there is other stressful things about this job.
