Chopjock .....you are not giving the EOGOC a good name you know
I think the point is ....going slightly overweight as a genuine mistake is one thing , ( we have all asked for 150 ltrs only to find 200 put in or a girl turns up with a handbag the size of a suitcase ) , intentionally going over is another . What happens when you allow yourself that extra 100lb you shouldnt have ....and then you "just" go say 25lb past that new limit you have set ?? Where does it stop ? It is pointless saying most of us never do it , ever ...but it is a bad thing to get into a habit and equally bad to flaunt it !!
ps I used to consistently massively overload Bell 47,s spraying but they have all crashed now so part life not so much of a problem . ( also people were not mostly v sensible 30 yrs ago !! )
