Huh? So a Westwind cannot climb above FL290 at MTOW?

Surely at MTOW a Westwind could make the high 30's? ( 350 360 )

I dont understand your reasoning?

He was RVSM capable wasn't he? So he would have planned optimum FL's which at MTOW would be FLXX for a Westwind.......why would carrying an extra hour or so fuel screw his FL capability that much??

Do tell
