OLCI - What's the point? Shocking seat selection

[under the radar]

Yeh, and the cheque in the post. Sorry love, thats just total cough at T-80. Made a similar post on a 'DeathStar' management posting that claimed the same sort of bollocks. Aeroplanes of this size do not have the weight and balance issues of a bloody DC3!

mmm. "hey let's seat/load all pax/cargo at the front or back of the a/c and watch it struggle to take off before it bounces along the runway"!!!! I CERTAINLY HOPE 'STEALTH' IS NOT A 'LOAD CONTROLLER' WITH ANY AIRLINE!

I didn't say at T-80 - they were your words. For your benefit I said

This often happen within T-80 hours as sometimes you will see a couple of seats occupied like 4A & 5D with the rest of the seats around them blocked by LOCO

In that instance pax PS & above at T-80 onwards had already selected their seats, then closer to the time of departure of the flight LOCO has chosen to block forward seats for trim in the first few rows of economy except for the ones already allocated to these pax.

I have no recollection of making any such post WRT trim on JQ so please cut and paste the quote so I may clarify this for you also.

Have a nice day.

FWIW, I (together with 10 or so other passengers) were once moved on an A330 after boarding and before takeoff, due to a weight distribution issue. The issue may not affect passengers so much on a large aircraft, but the issue still does arise.
