The first and business class sections on some A340600s are so heavy that they are pushing the jet’s nose down during flight, which can play havoc with the aerodynamics and potentially endanger passengers and crew.
Ha ha ... they can always offload first class passenger wallets with me. That should ease the problem.

Reminds me about the joke of the captain's wallet exceeding MTOW.

Install beds down the back as well. Problem fixed.
Ha ha... No sorry madam that's not inflight turbulence. That's Ralph Fiennes with our flight attendants.

So at take off the plane is nose heavy and later in the flight it gets tail heavy.

Oh I love this thread ... don't you ?
