Oh yeah. I flew Ohio to Denver last month and there was a strong headwind. They ask a passenger to get off (threw them off, actually) so they could put an extra 180 pounds of fuel on board. Told us it would take an extra 20 minutes flight time. I'm not real comfy with them cutting it that close. "Just fill it up - I'll loan you the $$ for the extra gas, just get me there."
