If so, what was the response? This story sounds fishy. I don't know of any captain here (even the bad ones) who would flat out say "NO" to that.
If this guy truly is a ground instructor I'm guessing this story was fabricated. Also with an alt you'd be planned to land at well over 2900#. So many things not adding up here.
