Trust me I know it would be hard I work the tkt counter and gates now and its so fun asking 15 pax to vol b/c Eagle cant to 50 pax. I was wondering if its better to have a crash pad in ORD or live at home and drive 3 hrs round trip each day...which would you do?
If it were me, I'd step away from the Jet A fumes and blue juice...its killing your ability to spell and communicate effectively
Seriously though, I can't believe Eagle's ERJs are THAT weight restricted! In 2 years flying the EP/LR/XR/SR/SL I think I have had to leave 2 or 3 AT MOST behind. I've even had to ADD ballast to a full flight in order to get a jumpseater on. Being restricted to 35-40 seems a little nuts unless they swapped a 135/140 for a 145.
