Zippy, yes I agree with you that the restricted RTOW for EZY 319s mean exactly that, but if EZY wanted to the weight could be increased, but the 22k engine would then restrict the longer sectors due to performance. Remember the 319 sent to ACE and to CFU due to the 320 being u/s and resulting in a Tech Stop on the way back? After all you could have Tech Stopped on your trip back and take all the pax if that is what NMC had wanted.
