Narrative:
After diverting into okc contacted dispatch for new flight plan and release. Flight plan RLS2 ZFW = 90;135 pounds. Initial RLS01 ZFW = 118;995 pounds. We had 6 passengers deplane in okc; fuel upload approximately equal to initial RLS01 but I saw that TOGW was 28;000 pounds less in okc than for initial takeoff. We phone patched with load planning and they stated new ZFW was not 91;035 pounds but 118;468 pounds; re-dispatched flight on RLS03 with correct ZFW. Flight uneventful.
