Got a message from you saying:
Aircraft Edit Declined
Airbus A330-900
You did not add a reference to support your update.
You already had a reference to the proper weight. https://www.airbus.com/sites/g/files/jl ... C-A330.pdf (so a new one was not needed) The document showed the OEW for several planes. Page 242 shows the a330-900. (135,093 kg) I didn't need a new reference. I just was updating the information to match the reference you had in there. I even noted that in the reference section. Wikipedia had a different number, but i trust Wikipedia less then a document directly from airbus. None of the docs show the OEW you have in there.

Well you referenced by favorite source for a330 data, that I have looked at a 100 times and never seen that, it is a very obscure place to put it in the document.

But it has come back to me that we had some problems with the A330-900 and I seam remember changing it but I can't find an record of that. It seams this change was done in May some time so I don't think it was the issue I was thinking of.

Updated both the -800 and -900 with the previous values.

We just reduced the capacity of aircraft by about 25% by doing this, we will see who squawks .

As soon as I updated the weights about 82 recorded flights got flagged by the system for being over MTOW and/or MZFW. I set them all as confirmed so they won't be recalculated.

Waiting for the fallout.
