He was an interesting guy. I have know of him, and he has heard my name for over 30 years, yet we had never met. One of my good friends is his cousin. He knew my old boss Tom real well, and I worked for him for over 25 years. Lots of people we know are mutual friends.
He owns a flying instruction school and has several instructors working for him. His primary job is as a corporate pilot in his King Air. He had a 4:00 AM flight scheduled for today. Taking clients to Miami, than El Paso. He has the same issue on worse with his credit card company. He will stop and get a few grand worth of Jet fuel. Fly to another part of the country, and get a more Jet-A and then go to another state and do it again, all in one day.
He said they went to Mexico City, and fueled up, and the credit card was declined. The Mexicans said you are not moving an inch until we are paid. He was not real polite to his credit card company on that call.
He told them if they see a charge at Wal-Mart, or for electronics, it is fraud. No one scams buying jet fuel at airports.
