Thank you
Thank you

I understand things have gone south in a particular upper-Midwest domicile and there are a lot of commuters to a large domicile on the east coast...but those flights are always full and leaving nonrevs behind...I’m always in the jumpseat to allow others to get on, I’d just like to see others be conscious of that as well
Mainline or larger RJ, sure it’s the right thing to do. But really think on the 200

Throw in to far fwd cg then having to add ballast. It doesn’t work more often than not.

Probably the most ingenious thing Air Whiskey ever did was put 100 lbs of fixed ballast in the cargo bin. It was always amazing to see how much that little amount helped negate needing huge ballast loads. When I was commuting on PSA 200s it was very common to see 7-800 lbs required.
