Within the last 12 months alone I have seen them dump Y passengers (VDB/IDB) twice because of heavy cargo and MTOW limits

I talk to the pilots on every trip I take (747 captains are generaly the only ones that know a family memeber also with UA) and always ask about cargo loads and how they relate to MTOW
on the SYD fights they are always at rated MTOW with as much cargo as they can hold
