In response to the weight thing, it's very rare for a modern airliner to take a full tank of fuel, and impossible to take a full load of pax and
baggage AND a full tank of gas. It's all about balance, the only time any pax carrying aircraft will carry a full tank usually will be during
delivery and then only if it has to go to it's maximum ferry range, during which time the only people aboard will be 2 pilots and 2 copilots,
one is a spare crew to take over when the other crew's hours go over.
Brad could maybe tell you if I'm right about that.......
