If you have ever recalculated your W&B with a late arriving bag in F1 I can only imagine you took notice of the change in CG. Now extend that arm out to the flight deck. What do you think will happen with 60+ lbs less up there?
I can't imagine this not needing to be done all at once to account for this change. Boogers and mice aside...
Have you ever had to hand fly while the FA's were moving the beverage carts from the galley to the tail??? I assure you it's a much bigger issue than permanently dumping 60 pounds from a fixed point
