Currently on the tarmac waiting for my flights to tax out from the gate. The stewards have called out three times “while this flight is not full, please stay in the seat allocated on your boarding card to make sure we have the right weight distribution during takeoff”. Can really one or two passengers moving change the weight distribution on a 50 000 kg airplane (250M 🦅-units) enough to have an impact?
Or is this just BS? As a frequent traveler I hear this argument a lot..

I don’t think it’s the worry of one moving but travelers will congregate and suddenly you have 20 moving, not one. That’s why they don’t tackle the one old dude that has to pee but they berate the second.
