Over a 75# weight discrepancy?

That seems awfully conservative and like, unnecessary, it's not a BE-1900.

Must be the optics associated with "737" these days.

Well taking off 1 pound overweight or 10000.....you are just as guilty I guess.

In smaller airplanes. At least some majors have an allowance for slop, limited last minute bags and pax seat changes don't necessitate a revised W&B.

Although I guess if the 75# was at the very nose or tail, it would have more lever-arm and therefore more significance.

There’s got to be a story behind the story.
