> Southwest has to perform the weight and balance checking in a matter of minutes between all the passengers getting on board and pushback, because of the open seating.
Why wouldn't this be an issue for other airlines as well? United doesn't ask for a passenger's weight in advance to pre-calculate based on their assigned seat.
