Didn't need fuel but on route from Walgett to Mildura I planned to top up ( always like more than enough in my tanks ), I called the refueller after we landed and he said there was an $85 call out fee, so I told him thanks but no thanks. We used the rest room ( filthy ) and got back in the plane only to see the refueller standing next to us right beside the pump, I opened the cockpit door and asked if there was still a call out fee seeing as he was here now. The reply without even looking up from his mobile phone was , yep ( and with attitude ). If this guy is working for himself I would not expect to see him there much longer, and if he is working for some one then an employment review must be imminent
Pulled in for a break on way back from Queensland and thought may as well get a bit of fuel while there. Fuel guy was just next to his truck and bowser so thought that was convenient, only to be told there was an $85.00 call out fee!! This guy is certainly doing wonders for the tourism industry in this town as I will be making sure I tell all my fellow flyers to avoid the place unless absolutely necessary.
