at exactly are you insinuating here?
Cmon be clear about it, dont skirt around it. Man up and say what you mean.
Why would they fabricate BS when qf, like most mature airlines, has a no blame culture and there is zero to gain from a shortcut of only one crew doing the numbers; never happened once in my decade in that operation. And now with ipads its a breeze.
Geez settle down. Maybe instead of getting cranky, you should work out what the odds are of two independent calculations coming up with the exact same incorrect figure?
Much much more likely is that either verbally, or visually, one pilot used the same weight that the other pilot had calculated and then the Vref40 check was not done. Either that or the ZFW information was shared, again, either verbally or visually ( glancing over at what the other person has used).
Is exactly what I was on about.
It may be that it did just by pure coincidence that it did occur, but it's quite a big coincidence.
