Airline Starts Weighing Passengers Shocker!

[ivanthereasonable]

Peoples weight is important, especially on an aircraft. I watched a Youtube vid just the other day showing a (cargo) plane struggling to get enough height at takeoff.

When you ring my dentist, the recorded message warns that their dentist chairs will not safely bear anyone over 21 st. That mankini just got me in.

If you take up 2 seats then you should be paying for them both

So will I be penalised for being 16 stone & pure muscle or is it only the flabbies who need to worry?

They can’t change the Mean calculation because that would possibly cost efficiency on cargo and baggage, simply saying everybody is 100kg now would significantly impact the business.

However Finnair have reduced many things from their service now so I’m sure they have other motives too.

Passengers should have a 100kg limit for themselves and case combined... don't see why I should have to take stuff out my case when it's 1kg over the limit and there's a fat bloke behind me in the queue that weighs 3 times what I do

..then you end up having to sit next to him on a ten hour flight!

Aye, with him eyeing my bread bun and cheese and crackers when the meal comes around

Depends on your height I'd say. You can't help how tall you are really.

If you were 16 stone of pure muscle it would mean you had no brain or skeleton.

I'd fail that but the 3 of us (Mrs and bairn) would piss it.
Would that be allowed?

The pilot should know the exact weight of his plane + passengers + fuel, should be standard operating procedure for every single plane journey.

Passengers then pay by weight £xx per kilo to a max of xxxkg including baggage.

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?

BMI is a fact, not an identity. Just like sex is a fact, but gender is an identity.

300kg between you all and 3 cases as long as all on the same booking. There'll bound to be some fat lad trying to bend the rules by trying to check in with a skinny stranger they've just met in the airport Greggs

[Junior Birdman]

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

Or a big fat fucker

 

[EDGE]

Encourage fatties to be skinnies.

 

[Frank Bullitt]

Even by your standards, you can do better than this

He f***ing can't you know

 

[RossTheNinja]

Drug smugglers all be midgets

Easy to spot. Although the searches would be a nightmare though. How could any customs officers stoop so low?

 

[Charmless Man]

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

Pacific Islanders I think are the fattest people in the world on average.

The only vaguely westernised country ahead of the US is Kuwait.

Look at me. Pathetic. It's not tinder.
