Narrative:
[Calculated fuel] ramp load value is 37600 pounds. [Station] fueling 'accidentally' over-fuels [the] aircraft to 40400 pounds. How does this consistently happen? What is being done about this? Are these constant 'accidental' over-fuels considered acceptable? What about the unnecessary cost incurred with these over-fuels?
