I get that the flight is full, and might have an alternate, but still seems odd.
It is odd and most of the times payload optimized flights are not even close numbers wise when we receive a WDR. Last one I had that was payload was on this exact route, and we landed 1900 below MLW.
No clue where we are at in the process, but the A220 is a Tesla. Delta is paying $$$ to unlock higher MLWs. I know they’re more aggressive on this on the -300 side than they are with the -100s, but it is happening.
