Whilst at LST, average bags were around the 17- 20kg mark for DJ. But you sure knew if you got a 32kg and didnt notice the heavy sticker. ouch! I only found it hard on bags over 25kg as i'm not a big person. The worst part of the job is in the hold on your knees and trying to lift the extra heavy bags up around chest height or up to the roof of the hold, if you haven't got room to have it on the floor.

I think 2okg is a bit lame though, maybe 25? Anyway - the piece on ACA was total crap.

Oh and those bloody heavy crew bags, should leave them on the tarmac lol.
