Let’s hope US Air doesn’t buy one of those baby’s. Allowing 200 pounds per passenger they could (and probably would) cram 5000 people in there. Oh yeah I forgot to allow weight for both restrooms.
Ya’ forgot...one of the bathrooms would be out of order....
Pity Northwest is no longer with us.
They’d have 650 seats in this baby...
Gross weight is not the same as useful load.
Allowing 200 pounds per passenger....
when I worked for UAhell, I was involved in weight & balance for a awhile. (I was also on boeings design team for cargo systems for the 777 as well as the certification and training) Any way, 1 pc of luggage was considered to be 28.7 lbs domestic and 32 lbs international. A single adult persons weight was 150 lbs and child weight was 74 lbs. Things may have changed over the last 5 or 6 years but I know of many overloaded aircraft and went to the guideline generic weights listed here. They even did kid counts.
