You wouldn't want to fly an airplane whose weight and balance has been miscalculated (or maybe properly calculated but can't vet if it has)

- kqr 1y agoBy the time they have pushed out the weights are already accounted for. It's part of the checklists that come before taxiing.
- SoftTalker 1y agoEven if the weight balance and loading are OK, it might be because other flights at the destination are being delayed at their gates and there won't be any gate for the aircraft when it arrives.
