Not saying you are wrong :-) but could it be a case of a quick turnaround
for the aircraft out of Charlotte? Offload a handful of passengers and
luggage, load the next group, and leave without taking time to put on a
near-full fuel load? Perhaps another short flight or a return to D.C. Just
speculating.
