Narrative:

According to the paper work I received, we were 100 pounds under gross weight for takeoff. However, the plane flew weird, so, at the destination, I had a bag count down. There were nearly twice as many bags as what they showed. I advised my supervisors who will be counseling the ramp agents. This keeps happening at our company. Someday they are going to kill a plane load of people.
