John and Ifx,

I have always wondered why an airline would choose to create a balance sheet where the cabin is only divided into two sections? In Ifx's excample, that makes about 95 pax in each section. The error margin must be huge (in case of half full flight) if 50 pax are seated in the forward part if 0A, and 50 in forward part of 0B, instead of 100 pax spread evenly in the cabin. The answer cannot be "the cabin staff has to ensure pax are evenly distributed", as that reply would eliminate the need to divide the cabin into sections alltogether.

Anyone?
