Nightstop, oh yes , the aircraft burns a lot more fuel for carrying an extra
person onboard, and it might not climb to its optimun flight level, and you
forgot to mention the food. Give me a break.
One time had a non revenue ticket to fly with AA from SJU to MCO and the flight was full. I asked the gate agent for a jump seat: I was told by
her that it wasn't possible because of a weight problem, I then asked her
to ask the captain. She said the captain had no saying in this. This was
pre 9/11. I had to wait a few hours for an available flight. Is this
what you want, Nightstop?
