It doesn’t matter what it any inspections are required. What matters is that a plane may not be dispatched unless it is going to be below the max landing weight at the point of landing. You cannot simply land above that weight for convenience and write it up upon arrival. Mechanical or medical diversion would be a different story.

Haha. What FlyDiamond said; you really think the company can dispatch a plane with a known landing weight thousands of pounds overweight, because it’s just a sign off?

Jyri, is that you?

brakes however, took 2 hours to cool to the point where we could taxi again at a station that had no brake fans

OK, guess that was a stupid question.

Yeah, that has MX swap written all over it, to a plane with too much fuel.

Would make sense if it was LAS-BUR, but this is BUR-LAS.

Why would they be flying at FL380 to burn off fuel?

Ouch, good point. Didn’t see that.

How about…fueler in Burbank was so busy on the “Gram” that he fueled the plane to 40,000 pounds instead of 10,000 pounds.

That “gram” be distracting people

Maybe there was a sigmet for severe turbulence on the more direct route and they didn’t want to risk it.

I heard that their was an reports aliens and UFO’s along the route and they didn’t want to risk it.

Yeah. About a week ago. Love three rampers right under it doing nothing to stop it.

These are the same type of rampers who stand directly in front of a cart in the safety zone and don’t understand why we won’t taxi in
