306 passengers plus cargo plus fuel (to include the 450 mile away Brisbane alternate) puts you over the max T.O. weight. I believe Delta is looking into having Airbus increase the max TO weight so they can fly this route...all for a small fee, of course.
Wow, if that is true then Airbus overpromised and under delivered. Again. Airbus and Pratt and Whitney should get married. Match made in heaven.
