Plane was refueled too much, now we're too heavy to take off so we're sitting next to the runway burning 500 lbs of "extra" fuel...happy Monday.

So I've never heard of this happening until this post. Ironically, it's happening to me right now! The deplaned us because they didn't know how long it would take...estimates are at 45 min

Wow-that is a sad state of inefficiency. Wonder how often they over fuel?

Considering an average airliner burns 6.8 tons of fuel/hour in flight I'd say 500 lbs would burn quickly even at idle.

Because the environment sucks

Clearly the original engineers did not account for the obesity epidemic in their weight calculations 😉

@DD1, Airlines calculate 220 pounds per passenger with luggage. Yeah, I think that number is way off.

Although children do bring the weight average down.

D2-what are the odds? Weird!
