But, then, a month ago, we had the opposite issue. Because of a snow storm, after we boarded we were delayed as they had to pump more fuel in the CRJ 200 for if we needed to come back to ORD without being able to land at destination. Then, because of the fuel we were too heavy. The problem was that according to the FAA we were too heavy in the hold. But the weight in the cabin did not matter. Pilot started making space in the overhead bins to transfer bags that were in the hold. Obviously many can not fit so after he moved 4 bags from the hold he still needed some volunteers to leave the flight with their luggage then removed from the hold.
