Not unless he was in a hurry and asked nicely, and I had time to spare. otherwise he could just park his 707 behind my 310 in the line up like every one else. 
(and after I finish filling up, I would casually wander over and in a friendly manner suggest to him that avgas is going to wreck his day if put into a 707)

Still - what's a 737 compared to a 402? Especially one with POLICE written on it?

Wiz and Arm out the window.
Got my vote!
Yes the industry is cut throat but that doesn't mean that becomes your modus operandi (whatever...you know what I mean). At the end of the day we are just talking basic airmanship, nothing more. The idea of pilots' back stabbing at every chance to further their future does happen but why join them?
A police plane is just a charter, (with guns). If you want to start jumping in front of others with the attitude of a tosser, you might think about departing under a priority category. If not stay in line, or as said ask really nicely and say thankyou.
(wiz may ONLY have 13 years in the industry but he has quite plainly got a better handle on it than others.....even if his spelling isn't as good as mine )

Only 13 years? What a rank amateur 
Out of interest - are what point in this industry do your opinions become valid? When they are right or when you on the verge of turning to dust? I ask merely for information.

You're not the only one sick of macho wankers
Brett old mate
You can take heart in the fact that these macho wankers are a dieing breed in aviation. The airlines don't want them and neither does anyone alse. Their droopy moustache mentality just doesn't cut it anymore.
If you really want to see one in action ,just watch the Sunday night news. He'll usually be getting hosed out of what's left of his aircraft.
Edit time
Sorry bloke,I almost forgot: You can tell these guys from your average pilot because they regularily use to 2 most dangerous words in aviation. "WATCH THIS"
