Actually, can't fill it to 37 seats maybe 34 seats because of weight restrictions. So explain to me how consistently being overweight, leaving passengers behind is 'good' for an airline.

The GSO station had to give out something like $75,000 in vouchers, denied boarding vouchers, etc when CHQ started their CRJ service from there to IAH this past summer. They were usually weight restricted to 40 seats out of 50.

Oh by the way, yes I have bought tickets for family when they have had to be there.
thats why CAL is doing GSO to IAH now with the B1900...Fuel stops in ATL-JAN-MLU! Cash cow.
