fusion Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Read about that on Reuters. I guess there's 7-8 or other airlines that already have the policy.I'm all for it and am happy I don't travel as much any more for the same reason. Being pinned to the window the entire flight is no fun.Here's the Reuters article:http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090415/ts_nm/us_unitedairlines_obese_1 Edited April 16, 2009 by fusion Linky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 maybe they should put up railings that are the size of the arm rest and if you don't pass through them without touching them, the that's how they decide whether you need to buy another ticket or not... ?

flounder Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Its a valid issue... Im glad they are doing it. Dont just think about the fat people but during the arnold every year, you get huge guys/gals flying in for the arnold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 What next, you go into the restaurant and they call out "party of two"? Charge you twice for seats at the movie, ball park, etc? how about a discount for us skinny types. I'm all for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenBee Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I fly all the time. It sucks being next to a extra large person. In so many ways. I can't even explain. Horrible. Glad to see this going in effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Good. I like this policy.Yanno what really grinds my gears? When Fatty McGreaseguzzler is late to class, and insists on sitting in the open seat in the very middle of the crowded 300-person lecture hall. Watching them clumsily wade through an entire row of people to find the seat that they barely fit in anyway is funny in a sad way, but after the humor wears off I just get really mad. Why should everyone else be inconvenienced because you refuse to hit the treadmill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dweezel Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Nice, I'm a pretty big guy, and if I get stuck on some of these smaller planes I'm cramped, and I ALWAYS end up next to some 400lb woman with a beard I'm by no means fat but if they want to make those over a certain diameter buy an extra ticket I'm all for it, if they want to go strictly by weight I'm gonna be pist, because I know I'll fall into the 'Obese' section, have since I was 15. Anyone else remember those little age/height/weight charts they used to have in the Dr.'s office what a joke those were (to me anyways) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
