Granted, doesn't happen all the time, but still.
2) You are LS limited, your destinations WX requires an alt, and that alt is QUITE a distance away and requires a considerable amount of fuel.
With anything there is an exception to the rule. For a 50 seat aircraft it does the job it was intended to...50 people and bags.
