That works in 91 and possibly in 135 depending on the ops. For 121 you have to make the numbers work before you push. Hence getting dispatch to work with you on the enroute burn or pulling bags inside.Go sit and burn 226 lbs before you takeoff...

Surely on a 30+ ton jet (and that's just RJ class) you can find 300 lbs of fudge factor.
See this pisses me off..I was a dispatcher on a flight not to long ago with my buddy trying to jumpseat on. I had included some hold fuel in an over abundance of caution due to VCTS at the destination. I had left a 300lb wt buffer, but sure enough they needed 300lbs of ballast to get the jumpseater on and were overwt. I asked over ACARs multiple times for the captain to give me a call. But instead he kicked the jumpseater off and left. Honestly whether it was a friend or a random offline jumpseater I'd have liked to work with the captain to increase our enrte fuel burn and reduced our MINTO to make the numbers work.
Depends on the fudge factor involved with the carpet dance at the Chief Pilots office.
