If I paid extra money to choose my seat, I’m gonna be upset

Sow what can you do if they ask you to move to the back and you’re payed for a seat in the front because of panick attacks you’re getting in the back

How does the computer know how much we weigh? Where does it get that information from? Is there a scale in the airplane seats 🤔

surely it can't make much of a difference. The computer doesn't know if the passenger is 5,2 or 6,7. There is a massive weight difference there.

So the computer ensures the plane flies straight and level….,therefore, the earth must be flat and level…right?

UPS ramp agent here, but not only that, its also to prevent damage to the aircraft and its airframe. iff there's too much weight at the front, more runway length and stopping distance is needed. too much at the back, and you risk something called tail-tipping, where the tail of the aircraft, including the horizontal stabilizers and the rudder could hit the ground. too much on either side, and you could risk wing tipping, which can damage the engines or control surfaces, such as the flaps and slats.

So you should be placed in your seat at the airport rather then paying extra for your seat nowhere does it ask you for your weight when you are purchasing your ticket

unless the plane is half full or less, the weight difference is insignificant in large aeroplanes..

Question, what about on transcontinental flights when people move to walk stretch and sometimes even cues for the restrooms just standing outside?

That’s great info to know! I’ve had to move to another seat, but I didn’t know how that was figured!

What about all the people who start a line for the bathroom? Does that impact weight and balance?

ya know what? it might seem inconvenient but I'd rather they figure out the balance of the plane on the ground and get me where I'm going safely. as long as I arrive I'm not gonna sweat the small stuff in the bigger picture of life 😊

Is it true that if they load incorrectly, say all to the rear first, the plane can tip over on the tarmac?

Years and years ago, we had a full plane coming out of Dayton, Ohio. We landed in Omaha and all but three of us got off. They moved every one of us to the very front first class. Probably the only time I’ll get to sit there. That plane barely made it off the ground in Dayton. We took off like a rocket with three people on the plane, leaving Omaha.
