EZYBUS I see what you're saying but I have to correct you in this. If you have a look at any loadsheet for any of your flights - or if you ask any of your skippers - you'll see that each person is given an assigned weight. There's a set weight for each female pax, male pax, child and infant. It might be that on one flight the calculation is slightly over and on another slightly below the real combined weight of pax, but most likely (and amazingly) it's quite accurate.
