I'm thinking I must be in a different world to EC155 and Epiphany. In my '155' world, the payload is already more than can be carried with use of VFR weather and Coastal alleviation, but if I'm really lucky we come to an agreement on IFR days whereby we can just carry what we need after modifying the route three times and calculating everything to the kilo, but then finding the wind drops when offshore and due to PC2e restrictions it's time to re-plan yet again!
I think someone needs a reality transplant, but I'm not sure who:-)
On a day like the 9th May, a professional pilot would have been very happy to have a little extra fuel when offshore didn't bother to inform of fog at their end, and onshore forecasters failed to predict the same, with crews running rapidly out of options as a result...
