US Folks,

I got left behind today on the USair PHL-LAS flight because the a320 was weight restricted and could only take 1 js in the cockpit instead of 2. The crew and gate agent were extremely nice, but they couldn't get around the restriction, and I'm grateful that they went the extra mile to try and get me on. Makes me think even more highly of you guys!

So my question is this. I always assumed airbuses could never be weight restricted, and I specifically target 2 js aircraft when I jumpseat for the extra "warm fuzzy." So now this totally changes my way of thinking. For future reference, in what scenarios are your a320's weight restricted? Thanks in advance!
