Non Rev Public Service Announcement
Guys/Gals,
There is a pretty informative thread on Chit Chat about Non-Revs being moved to the back of the plane on flights with plenty of open seats in front.
Apparently some Red Coats/Gate agents are moving non-revs out of Economy Comfort and Business class and re-positioning them to the very back of the plane. The passengers are being told it is a weight and balance issue when apparently the goal is move the CG aft to save on fuel.
I have not experienced this yet since every flight I try to non-rev on is always oversold,
but if it happens to you I would recommend that you call your Reps.
Supposedly DALPA is aware of this and is looking into it.

I doubt the company even has a mechanism to evaluate moving people around to change the CG. If they do and this is a new policy why is it not happening on every flight?

Well according to the thread it is new - so we may all see it eventually, but hopefully not. Secondly it would only matter on pretty empty flights which are rare and like I also said - I have never seen it.
I will say that I am not as optimistic as you since numerous posters seem to corroborate it.
All I am saying is that if you see it - talk to your reps about it.
Hopefully, as you insist, it is a false alarm - time will tell.

We'll see sailing. Someone called the CP office in mecca, and was told more information to follow on Monday. I guess we'll find out more then. This happened to my wife recently on the 88. I never saw this happen while flying it for 4 years. Hope it's only smoke.
