Static TO without a large fuel load is very doable.
Yes I have, and I guarantee it's weight restricted. If not, there must not be a lot of bags, or someone is LYING about the weight and balance.
Don't argue with me on this one. I flew the ERJ for 3 years with the BEST W&B program in the industry. We had the lightest pax and bag weights, and I'm very familiar with the performance. It can't do a strip that short, full of pax, bags, and gas. Won't happen.
