Saving Fuel

Thursday return flight home...  The fuel in Detroit is cheaper than the fuel in Green Bay, so flight ops made the grand money saving call to put enough fuel in the plane for our flight to Green Bay and the return flight back to Detroit in an effort to save money.  A grand idea if it were executed correctly.  However, the guy that puts the fuel in the plane, or perhaps the person that told him how much to put in got the numbers wrong.  They ended up putting in over 500 pounds too many, which now put the plane over it's maximum weight for landing in Green Bay.  Now comes the high tech, environmentally friendly and completely economical process of returning to a legal weight; get out of line for take off and sit on the tarmac and wait for the plane to burn the extra fuel.  This will take some time, plus we then need to get back into line for take off once again.  Talk about burning time and money.
