I have been moved around in a CRJ before to "balance" the load, but last Friday in FAR, with all the Pax on the aircraft, we left the gate 5 mins early. Only to sit and wait for 45 minutes on the tarmac. The pilot said he was waiting for the "company" (his words) to acknowledge the "weight computer"
He came back every 15 mins, saying that they had no reply from the messages he sent. Eventually with no moves on the aircraft we finally left 45 mins late and arrived 40 mins late in MSP. What gives?
