This is a new one to me. My Frontier flight's departure yesterday was delayed 1-1/2 hours according to the pilot because of "overfueling," which then required a supervisor, paperwork and removal of some of the fuel. The flight had only 5 empty seats at that point (which they subsequently filled with standby passengers).

Has anyone else been given this reason for a flight delay? I'm not sure I understand how it is possible to overfuel a full flight, but I wonder whether it is related in any way to the spirit of ULCCness from the new Overlord.

Frustrating, because we were showing an early arrival time originally but ended up getting in over an hour late with a full complement of passengers either having missed or sprinting to make tight connections. And surprising, because with all the weather issues going on all over the country, I would have expected the problem to be attributed to that.
