Are you aware that CUZ is notorious for frequent disruptions of this type?
Yes it is, I had a crazy windy departure from CUZ, it has regular disruptions but so many flights that it is not really an issue. It is most unnecessary though for you to not be told. It's not like they did not know.
If the captain decides that he needs to depart lighter then that is good enough for me but obviously communication is key. For you to be directed to a carousel in LIM is ridiculous

I don't think the A319 has hot and high issues as such. I was thinking about this at BOG a couple of weeks ago as I thundered down the runway on a long take off roll on an AA B738 that was half empty. "Never had this issue in Colombia or Peru on an A319" I thought to myself.
