Would these aircraft weigh themselves? I got sent a zero fuel weight from our load control department that was intended for another aircraft a few weeks back. It was ten tonnes lighter than we were. Plenty of human error going on in the department responsible for sending weight and balance information to aircraft. We will surely have to automate the data entry for uplinks as well, but hang on, the chap weighing the freight and bags could put a decimal point in the wrong place..... we need to develop a robot for weighing bags.....surely we can remove this pesky human error.
