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.
We had a flight restricted to 29 was the lowest I had ever seen (thats on an MQ 145 not 140 or 135 but 145) the fuel was 11200 or 300 and we had a bunch of bags and cargo (pps). So yes it happens trust me I been there. It happens to BUF SYR ALB MDT YYZ any city about 500-600 miles and further away.
