Correct. They give you the fuel you ask for the intended flight.

But only provide FOC sufficient for you to leave US Airspace!

Strangely enough, you're both right in a way.

If we're buying the airframe, we get requested fuel. Apparently if we are picking it up as a lease (ie airframe actually owned by a leasing company such as ILFC), then as part of the lease it normally starts with full fuel.

Yes I know I'm quoting myself but I was serious, if we buy one, they provide our requested fuel for the trip but only sufficient for physical export fm US supplied free.

I understood that to be correct if you take the aircraft and go but not if you carry out an acceptance check and bring the aircraft back for rectification of defects found.
