    They do not have an open fueling policy. Most companies don't. Mine does, most don't though.

    "Mine?" As in you are not with May now? I'm ok being told WHERE to fuel, but being micro managed is not good for me. I used to be an O/O in the '80s. I ran to make miles and money. I know I'm a newbie but being babysat won't work! Scooter, which starter companies in your opinion don't do that, within reason, cause I get some is needed for sure, to newbies?

    Get it and agree as a former business owner. Maximize profits is the name of the game. What bout the other aspects as far as micro managed?

    No, I am not with May anymore. Haven't been for almost a year now.

    The reason I'm bringing up some of these issues for you is so you don't get blindsided. Remember, it's not what recruiters tell you oftentimes, it's what they don't tell you.

    Same goes with some trainers. I couldn't believe how many things I was learning the hard way after I soloed out. It was very frustrating.

    all of us you have been talking with back and forth, joker is the only one still with may, the rest of us are prior employees which is why we made that former may section ^.^

    and yeah, fuel you stop where they tell you and how much they tell you, dont worry, the pump will stop itself at their limit ;)
    my company isn't "OPEN" fueling, but I can stop at any pilot/flying J and get fuel whenever I need it

    Oh am I doing something wrong? Is this the place to find out bout May? Where shall I get the REAL scoop? I don't want to hog or dominate any thread. I'm just wanting to get the real deal so I can choose the best starter company for me. Thanks.
