SWA weight and balance

[Lear70]

That would be a bad scenario in Mexico City. Saw bleeds off performance data at 73 degrees OAT! I also got to see what the end of the 13,000 runway looks like at about 165 knots and probably 100 feet agl.

Upper temp limit for takeoff is +50c if memory serves... (+50/-59?) that's a heck of a temp!

I always input FULL PWR and yeah, even with 20-30 open seats and not much cargo or fuel, that runway gets to looking AWFULLY SHORT at the end of the takeoff roll... now imagine losing one at V1!

We weighed 144k or so. Within 900 lbs of MTOW is what I remember. I think full power is a good habit too, even if you are lighter than normal. Those folks like to move furniture or something when they travel. Going to SNA out of there is a whole different ball of wax versus SAT. Lots more fuel.

Humvee-
Not that it really matters, but I think our dispatchers only number around 175.

I'm sort of confused. Not sure how dispatchers fit into the discussion.

Disregard, I misread your post.
