It's dispatchers that usually want extra fuel (in large quantities.) I always like to take an extra couple hundred pounds but they would add thousands.

Pilots like to take non-revs and jumpseaters, and we don't like fuel restrictions to limit our carrying ability.

A lot of dispatchers forget that the PIC is the final authority, not them.

Some airlines teach them that they make all the decisions. It is supposed to be a team effort, but the PIC has the last call of course, as he or she has to fly the plane.
