"Dillon Pyron" wrote in message ... Thus spake "chilly" : "Dillon Pyron" wrote in message news Thou shalt not lift more than 50 pounds. Every airline I've flown on in the last three years has said 50 pounds. It's 70 on most international flights, however. International baggage handlers must be stronger than domestic baggage handlers. Although when we flew back from CZM, Continental tagged our 51 lb bag with a HEAVY tag, not that they otherwise bitched about it. Must have been those two t-shirts I bought. You should have worn them; then the plane wouldn't have been so heavy. |

Anyway 50 pounds per bag . . . I think it may be a union, or safety issue for the baggage handlers. How do you distinguish one from the other? __________________________________________________ ___________ A San Franciscan who's stickin' t'the union! http://geocities.com/dancefest/ http://geocities.com/iconoc/ ICQ: http://wwp.mirabilis.com/19098103 IClast at SFbay Net |

If the CG is too far aft the plane starts to mush and will stall to easily and not recover. -- dillon "When the French are against it, you know we can't be far wrong." - Adm. Bobbie Ray Inman |

One makes money, one makes sense.
