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.
What passenger weights do other carriers use for standard pax on the ERJ/CRJ? At AE we use 195 for a standard weight, but I remember hearing somewhere that Skywest uses 180. That adds up quick and could be the reason for all the weight restrictions on AE.
