Also, a note on why the Green factors in heavily. Corporate leadership are given bonuses on ESG score. Making the company more green, diverse, etc, raises the ESG score. ESG score cares NOT about aircraft safety, re-works, aircraft falling out of the sky. 

Short term stock price increases and bonuses for ESG score increases is a perverse incentive for leadership.

When I retire in 10 years or so, I am strongly thinking about buying a 1960s American coupe and doing a restomod. Good luck trying to hack a 4 bbl carburetor from DC;

Which is why they try to phase out gasoline. Good luck with your vintage car, then. Oh, it also need leaded fuel. How long is that going to be available?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop advisory on Wednesday for Alaska Airlines, saying: "All Alaska mainline and subcarrier flights ground stopped."

In a separate statement, the FAA said the carrier "asked the FAA to pause the airline’s mainline departures nationwide." It did not provide a reason for the stoppage.

CNBC reported that the airline's system used to calculate weight and balance for flights was not functioning correctly.

Alaska Airlines and the FAA did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

 

Heck, W&B is a mere formality. If center of gravity is aft of the center of pressure, just wait a few. Parts will fall off, relocating CG forward. If things still feel mushy, simply dump the blue tanks.
