ExpressJet pilot help please

Could somebody tell me if a weight restriction is a real possibility tomorrow on a/c 537 CLE-DFW? It shows four held seats in the PBT and I am trying to non-rev with two adults and three kids (not my idea). Any help is appreciated.

Yes, the acft could easily be MGTOW-limited if the winds are unfavorable or a distant alternate is required for DFW. 537 is an LR so on a 3+ hr stage length it can easily hit the MGTOW limit with over 46 pax, decent cargo, and over 9000 lbs of gas. Good luck with a party of 5!

Thanks very much, I guess it's going to be a crap shoot.
