Airline Starts Weighing Passengers Shocker!

[Apache Inbound]

A Finish airline is starting to weigh passengers- voluntary for now but could this end up becoming mandatory and spread to other airlines?

As we know, in this day and age of wokeness - everyone can be a victim - but is this a legitimate case of fat shaming and are you prepared to get in the scales before flying?

Airline says it will start weighing passengers in addition to baggage to calculate ‘flight balance’

Finnair said the move, which will be done on a voluntary basis through May, is designed to improve balance calculations that will enhance safety.

No it's to do with aircraft safety, not fat shaming. Would have no problem with getting weighed and I'm a fat bird.

The OP doesn’t really care about fatties or if smbrs are prepared to be weighed now does he?

Aircraft safety = wokeness

Even by your standards, you can do better than this

My mate and I have started a business where we weigh tiny items.

It's a small scale operation.

Its voluntary and just to get an accurate picture of the planes overall load rather than rely on estimates which are mandatory.

People have forgotten what shape humans are supposed to tbf so a bit of shaming wouldn't go amiss to help the nation become healthier. Just look at this place. Loads of people in denial and coming out with things like "if I was in the healthy range on BMI scale I'd look ill"

He’s up extra early today to get all offended I’ll give him that.

It’s like he and oldie tag each other from the night to morning shift

I want a fuck off alarm going off with a robotic sounding 'you fat bastard' at check-in if you're over 20 clem...

From what I've seen white westerners are the fattest so he might.

OP must be a bit of chubster.

You know he doesn’t.

Internal US flights are an eye opener in the fat fucker stakes mind.

I got sent to the back of this thing to balance it up on takeoff.

Fairly sure they weighed everyone whilst holding their hand luggage too.

Does Taylor Swift get weighed when she gets on her private jet to fly 10 mins from her fake NFL boyfriend to her next democrat rally?

Typically hypocrisy from the Geta loving far left communists as usual

How would you feel if they refused you boarding (for safety reasons)?

As with any transport, weight needs to be factored in one way or another. Given Finland is home to one of the tallest populations in the world, with a fairly low obesity rate (particularly be developed nation standards), I'm going to say it's not about fat shaming.

What happens if say a particularly obese gentleman is refused boarding but then challenges the airline’s decision by stating he identifies as a person of low BMI?

 

[SR7]

Nowt wrong with it, it’s based on weight which doesn’t discriminate exclusively against fat people. Could be an 18 stone of pure lean muscle rugby player

BMI is a calculation based on height and weight, so I can't imagine that they'd get very far with that.

A tall, lean, Scandinavian giant could try claiming to identify as a person of lowe BMI, he wouldn't get very far either I suspect.
