The pipeline is simple to do, very little details needed.
I do not condone the company’s actions though. This is wrong on so many levels. Anyone heard of PSA or PDT having this issue?

Current PDT CA here. No. Never even heard of someone getting any sort of pushback from a dispatcher about it, or experienced it myself. When I've asked for more fuel in the past, we just amended the release and called the fueler.... that was it....
