Does anyone else think this is a big problem?
Just walk up there if you have to it only takes a second and avoids the risk. It is a legal issue. If she says there are adults on board and the FA counts them as kids and you take off overweight then there will be some issues. Tell your CP you need an accurate count so that you stay within regulations. He can't tell you no.
