[QUOTE]G-CD Confirm you are aware this is a public transport flight, close to max landing weight.[QUOTE]
I'm also wondering what the max landing weight part is to do with it?
If you were at near max landing weight, wouldn't you benefit from being asked to hold for a bit and burn a bit more fuel off? Ok, orbiting might mean you have to make your turns a little bigger, but surely not an issue for a professional pilot?
