Without getting into specifics, except to say that I don't fly a twin (perish the thought), some here might find this just a tad odd...

on the one hand
So if we depart at max takeoff mass
whereas, later it is
an overweight landing is the option otherwise,
Oh dear, the Europeans do have their knickers in a twist with takeoff mass and overweight landings.
Perhaps being on the same page of music would be helpful....

As a side note, SV years ago had a problem with a brand new Saudi captain wherein he decided to steam around over the old RUH airport for one hour ten minutes so as to consume as much fuel as possibe after finding that his number two engine failed on rotation in his 737...weather CAVOK.
The respective fleet manager was not totally amused...
