Re: fat people should pay more for their seats
Last year in states, an airline’s decision to extra-charge fat people caused a brouhaha. The rationale was that if the fat person is going to take up two seats they should pay for the extra seat – their demand for a free extra seat triggered this policy.
From the perspective of an airline, this is fair. If all passengers start demanding free extra seats, they’d go bankrupt (it’s a tough business and many airlines are on the brink of bankruptcy due to oil price hikes, technician contracts, etc.)
From a passenger’s perspective, I believe that fats of the world shouldn’t demand free/better treatment. I have seen people asking ground staff to “check out” the turbanned sikh guy before boarding otherwise they won’t board the plane. If this is the level of tolerance demonstrated towards “different” people, then I say lets extend this “tolerance” towards fatsos of the world.
Pay for the free seat you are hogging you fat free-loaders!
