Hello,
I have a cabin configuration with 100% Utilized Deck Length, because I gave my paxes some extra pitch. Now I realised this doesn't affect the ratings.
If I would remove the extra pitch, the rating remains but the Utilized Deck Length is reduced to 95%. Does this mean the plane could load extra cargo to the now idle 5% of my aircraft when conducting a passenger flight?
Second question: If I change the cabin configuration, do I have to pay for the new seats and won't get a refund for the old ones? In my example, all seats remain. They'll stand only a bit closer together.
