Again it comes down to each persons requirements.    I am not  
concerned about the weight of the laptop in regards to weight  
restrictions on the plane dependant upon which class one is in, I am  
talking about the actual drag of carrying a heavy laptop and assorted  
books etc around, especially for flight crew.   When I fly I lug my  
MacBook Pro with me because I need it at the other end, I do not use  
it on board as I either read or watch the in flight entertainment.   I  
very rarely use the CD/DVD drive, the last time being to load Leopard  
and before that, well I can't remember.   Your work/travel situation  
is very different to mine or that of airline pilots, so for you then,  
the MacBook Air would not be a good choice.   Fine.   For others, it is.

people who carried on after I left have all said that (lots of) memory  
and optical drive are mandatory.
