Anyhow the point I had to make is that a while ago the catering weight changed and went DOWN by about a ton (1,000kg
I took your statement to catering to get some qualification, and they said that it hasn't gone down it has gone up by 800- 1000 kgs, due to the added requirements for water and ice -creams.

It was also interesting to note they said that there is usually an excess of stores on board as a consequence of crews anticipating enough stores not being prior arranged and requesting new stores. This usually means that there are sometimes two times more then is necessary and if it transits four stations ie; SYD_SIN_LHR_SIN_SYD. possibly a lot more.

I wonder if load control and the Techies realise that when takeoff weight is critical weight and balance may not be legal.

Tell that to the green keeper at the end of the runway.

The reason you got your last pay rise is because you sold out that extra crew member for 3%.
