I can't "beat" the facts? Is this a contest of some kind?

What facts? I am no expert on your airline, but according to other posters, your airline did a study and determined it would be better to just use the weights in the AC. I know of other airlines that did studies and would have been saddled with heavier weights had they went through with it. So, seems like your airline did their homework - I don't know what else the greedy management would have done differently in this case.

And honestly, I don't care that much. Done with topic.
