Should Fat People  be forced to pay more to sit in seats in a plane ?

That's like asking "Should stupid people be allowed to troll on BroadwayWorld?"

I wonder what other name Howard is/was in a past/current life on BroadwayWorld?

I think the real question should be: should I add Howard Shore to my list of blocked people?

Reminds me of an old George Carlin bit.

 

He remarked that airlines always make announcements asking if people needed help with small children. He said what about people with big children.

It looks like someone joined here and their first issue was fat people on the plane.  This is a topic worth discussing, but kinda weird as a getting to know you thread.  People over 300 pounds should have to pay double.  That will get them on a diet, but they should get a double seat.

ACL did you block me?

You seem kind.

"and every seat is the same price."

 

Actually, they're almost never the same price since airlines sometimes change the pricing hourly based on demand and two people sitting next to each other have often paid vastly different prices for their seats. But I'm sure you understood that and your comment was meant metaphorically, not literally.

Because this post is so idiotic, I'm going to draft off the poster who mentioned the Carlin joke.  His airplane shtick also included this, which I'm sure I'm paraphrasing:  "You know when the flight attendant says that in the unlikely event of a water landing, you can use your seat cushion as a flotation device?  I'm just saying that in the event of a water landing, my seat cushion becomes a toilet."

Interesting.

I just flew domestic on Tiger Air [was very good] and check-in was completely 'do it yourself' . Of course there were staff there to help idiots like me who can't follow prompts and have to poke at a screen to make things happen.

I reflected[to myself] as I weighed my bag,attached label and watched it slide away, that it won't be long before we just stand with our bags on a conveyor belt, get a total weight, ticketed, then conveyed along through security then on to our waiting lounge--it will come I am sure but I will be long dead and still not have learnt how to poke at a screen or even know how to get out of a parking garage or......

Maybe that's what we'll do before we crawl into Elon Musk's pneumatic tubes before we get blasted across country.
