So do BA shut the door before the loadsheet is received? We (BR) get our final loadsheet through Acars from our BKK CLC but the Captain has to sign it off and give a copy to our dispatcher before we close the doors. The only reason i can think of that we would return to gate for a trim issue is if someone realised the aircraft hadn't been loaded as per the LIF.
