It seems to me that a policy as old as 25 years needs to at least have a second look. There are a lot more larger people than there were 25 years ago and you just can't take that attitude in today's world. I wonder how the seat size has changed in the last 25 years? Are the smaller or roomier? Either way, you just can't throw large people off the plane any longer.
I'm sure the Airlines would love to charge us by weight. It's a much more accurate method of calculating costs. Just like FEDEX and UPS.
I can see the headline now- AIRLINES TO BEGIN CHARGING PASSENGERS BY THE POUND! You know they have been thinking about this for some time! It's only logical. The charge for EVERYTHING now, why not per pound?
... just something to make you think about.
