Hey fellas,
Do these flights go out weight restricted or anything to/from the island? Thinking of jumpseating down to spend a few days with the family there next week. Thanks!

Thanks, I was hoping to fly into the island so my parents can pick me up there but I'll just do SAV if I have to

Assuming good weather we can usually take 34-35 into HHH and 30-31 out. Throw an alternate or two on there and it's a few less, a few kids and it can be 1-2 more.

It's not really a HHH issue (inbound anyways), it's a Dash issue. We hit our zero fuel weight pretty quick. We can leave CLT (10,000 ft runway) and fly to GSP (10,000 ft runway) and still have to go with 3 empty seats, unless we have a few kids and/or light bags. The -300 can take 50 into but 30 ish out.

The restriction out of HHH is an obstacle clearance restriction since the trees are kept high and there is almost no clear way. If they would just trim those trees and build a clear way we could probably take a normal load out.

I guess US Airways doesn't have the turboprop aversion that Delta does. As a hilarious side note, Delta was shocked when ASA told them there was no way we could take the -700 in there. They actually expected us to replace the ATR with it.
