Some fine day they'll have you step on a scale platform with your cabin baggage, match the weight up with your seat number and plug it all into the dispatch CG calculation.

Offloads will likely start with the heaviest first

"Offloads will likely start with the heaviest first"

None of UAL's finest flight attendants will be going then.
