Just never seen 6 empty seats for that. Sounds like it's possible from what you guys are telling me. Anyway, it's not a big deal... I just thought it was odd and I was curious. I appreciate everyone's insight. I think my wife's friend (ex-friend? ) now understands why we tried so hard to talk her out of using a buddy pass!
I know if they have to carry a bunch of fuel for alternates they can run into a max landing weight problem. Usually happens on shorter legs however.
