DashPilot,

Thanks for the very informative post on load factors. I've always wondered how they calculate how heavy a plane is & what determines cutoffs.

Actually I'm happy to know that I'm giving back a few pounds to the airline's calculation when we fly. I'll have to tell my wife that my weight is just fine.
