EMX 81L said earlier today in a now deleted post:
However, as i know a fair bit about loadsheets, the 145 is a god awful aircraft to trim. if u have a full load, u have to hope they have alot of bags, otherwise the 145 will be in the drink.
Alarmist tosh!!!
.
Firstly, it won't be in the drink, because if it's not in trim, a load sheet can't be generated and you don't go.
Secondly, the 145 can take a full load of pax to Madrid from Manchester with 4 tonnes of fuel - so carrying an extra 200kg of Ballast to trim the thing when the hold would otherwise be empty on a short business route where you only need 1.8 tonnes of fuel ain't gonna be a problem.
I'm not surprised you want them to go soonest - like someone said earlier - they're gonna prove very popular.
I'll wave as I overtake the EMs at over 400 knots, quietly, smoothly....
