@whitequark @chrisvest and even just from passive consumption of ACARS Drama it seems clear that aircraft are fuelled to significantly different levels depending on the passenger load.
(although I did also know this from other sources)
@gsuberland @chrisvest meatbags: fuckin heavy, actually
@gsuberland @chrisvest i was curious and did some calculations, apparently if you go with some reasonable assumptions (158 cm max linear dimension for checked bags, 30 kg max weight) then the checked bag density must be no more than 1/5 of passenger density
