Ryanair Empty Seats

Fly quite a bit with Ryanair & have noticed that they block off with the fold down trays a number of seats at the front ( & presumably the same at the back ).
On the last flight to Murcia 18 seats were kept empty & maybe the same at the back.
Antbody know the reason why ???
One of the cabin staff said it was to balance the plane !!
But she was Irish......
:D:D:D:D

Having the load unbalanced requires the aircraft to effectively climb (or dive) all the time to trim it out. So having a proper balance in the first place saves fuel.0 -
