In flyboys defense, I flew at ExpressJet for almost 8 years and I can count the amount of weight restrictions on two hands. Far different ball game than the other express carriers. All of our older 145s had been weight modded, and we had a large number of XRs you could fill to max gross 99% of the time. Any other 145 or crj 200 carrier you will see weight restrictions consistsntly. They are very very rare at xjt. Full with 2 jumps nearly all of the time. I'm sorry to say for all the Airbus haters, but it really is a far more capable airplane than the stretch 737s. No matter the route or the weather, I've never heard of a restriction for anything. As our HNL cargo partners can tell you, it also helps to be able to fit a palet down below
