Sure, our fuel loads are usually around 10,500 lbs. (no alternates) with an average MFPTW of around 73,750 which means we can take 11,500 lbs. and still not reduce our ZFW. With a BO of well under 7000 lbs. that leaves around 3500 upon landing and with a ZFW of 62,300 and a MLW of 67,000; I see absolutely no issues with taking a jumper

Breakdown:

70 Pax X 190 lbs = 13,300
Say 3500 lbs in bags
10,500 lbs in fuel
BOW of around 44,600
44,600 + 3500 + 13,300 = a ZFW of 61,400 (900 lbs under MZFW)
61,400 + 10,500 (fuel) = 71,900 which is 1800+ under our average MFPTW


Hope that helps and welcome on board.

Unless you work at GoJet, then the math gets a little fuzzy or the jumpseat gets deferred.

I could care less if you work for GoJet or not, bottom line is we are all subcontractors fighting for scraps under mainlines scope rules. GoJetr's are not scabs and many are/were furloughed mainline pilots who found themselves flying routes they used to fly with Guppies while making far less.

Holy technical Batman!!! I think a simple "Yep, can usually take everyone and then some!" or "Not a chance, go bug JetBlue!" probably would have sufficed!

HOLY CRAP!!!

You realize the computer does that math for you, right?? Good heavens... That's some highly technical math... But good for you that you can actually break all that down. Impressive, sir!!
