Its called humour Diggles.

Max landing weight for a B737-800 in the wet at CVT is about 56 tonnes.
I see, so if it was landing at BHX in the dry, it's weight would be ... different ?
Got it in one Einstein. Longer runway, better braking action, you can stop more weight. Theres a difference between aircraft structural and performance limits.

Misleading passengers is wrong.

If a 738 cannot arrive at cvt in the wet, it probably wont arrive.
(It rains in the UK)
You got any stats for annual rainfall at CVT, or how many days it rains? Must be a pretty wet part of the UK where you live 'cos I certainly don't remember living anywhere in this country where it rains all day everyday. Except Scotland.

But a trolly dolly (moderator) telling me I talking technical tosh does.
Does it make it any less irritating if a fully qualified and current Airline Transport Pilots Licence (Aeroplane) licence holder tells you you're talking tosh? Its still tosh. Those trolly dollys do a lot more flying than you do and some of them know a lot more about flying than you do. Although evidently that isn't too difficult.

Hopefully not only will your post but your posting rights will be pulled then we'll all be spared your ignorant conspiracy theories. Now go on, tell us who really shot JFK.
