I agree 100%!
The only thing worse than a screaming baby while flying is sitting next to a giant fatass!

Most woman will fly for way less $ than men.
I've been suggesting pay for weight for years :ugeek: ......... And I fly for free :shh:
What You Giving
I suggest you step out on your Porch.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
What about a 6'3" guy that weighs 240 and is physically fit?
Do you really want airline staff making subjective decisions about your plane fare?
It seems fair but only if actual weigh ins are done not the on honor
one out of five get busted.
It will make for much longer wait times and lines but what the hell...
hey wait they could have a slim gate you got to fit through instead... like the little
carry on thingy to measure your bag that would sped things up.
Then they can have fat flights ... with good seats like first class and special treats
for those who want luxury and privacy factor and don't care if they pay more....
like business.
it would be in the over sized section with mamasan's luggage. :fp:
I hope you are suggesting that she over packs, and not that her clothes are big.
:fp:
over packs is an understatement.
just thought that sounded funny.
I agree on the extra charge, but are the airlines going to enlarge the seats as well ? or does the extra weight person get 2 seats instead of the 1 seat ??
I've alawys been lucky and sat next to a thin person which makes traveling much more comfortable. I feel squished already whenever I fly. Must be my nerves.
Would take two second for them to find this out.
hey...can you carry this for me....i'm 10lbs over
why are you working out so hard?
i'm going on vacation
oh...trying to look good for the beach, huh
no, trying to make weight
:fp: :fp: :fp:
i see this going over like a lead balloon

and make the scale results disply in 4ft red numbers so all can see
We could bet on airfares
"look at that guy.. him? to Miami? $930 easy!!"

Maybe heavy peeps could buy "carbon credits".
Yeah, when you buy your ticket now, you can pre-pay the bag fee. You can do the same with height and weight.
You get to the airport, you check your bag on a scale...if you're over 50 lbs you have to pay more. Simply have that person step on a scale and if they are over, they pay just like they did their bag.
And if the fatties aren't happy about it...guess what? Drive!
is that some kind of new snack? are they tasty?
Would your farts come out all squeaky?
Yeah... Possibly another benefit of the helium underpants.. An anal adapter designed to alter the bass/treble frequencies. Yes, they could be squeaky, depending on how you set the dial. I think we have something here.
As a business I think they have that right
