We need all 1st class pax to move
On a flight from MSY to ATL yesterday, at boarding they asked all the passengers in 1st to sit behind row 30 for takeoff and then we could move back to first. Had a weight distribution problem. It was a 757 with about 50 people on board. I understand why they did it but still a little strange. Too many fat guys in first.

I'm not worried about the F psgrs moving back to Y. I just haven't heard about a DL 757 with only 50 people on it in a long time. Wow!

I flew MSY-ATL on Wednesday during the middle of the ice storm. Our plane had about 35 people on it, most were pilots and FA's being positioned back to ATL.

The average male needs 2500 calories a day. I watch people eat 1500 just on the airplane. Get healthy.

And if there is one thing FT needs, it's another thread that will devolve into fat bashing.
