Its the same with car insurance. The companies cant seem to realise that I CANT FIT IN SMALL CARS. I need a saloon or bigger, and I'm penalised. :shifty:

Solution there: buy a Mini.

Remove front seat.

Drive from rear seat.

Look cool doing it.:rock:

Steps 1 through 3 are simple, but step 4 is a real stumbling block.

I say, especially since I have gotten larger since leaving the service, and my wife has ALWAYS been larger than I, that if the option is available, even if at extra cost to the customer, have those who cannot fit in the economy seats, have to go business or first class. It will be more comfortable for than, move them closer to the front of the plane, and make those that they would have been sitting next to that much more comfortable for the duration of the flight.
If the option is not available, than make it mandatory, for those who are larger to be seated as the operator of the flight sees fit. If the customer doesn't like it, they can be refunded the cost of the flight and be given a voucher for the train or bus ride to the intended destination.

It already is to some degree. The flight commander has the final say of go / no go.

as someone who beat the "fat bug" I'm appalled at that site.
fat is no way to live I don't ever wanna go back. and to preach acceptance and almost normalcy is wrong. their education section is all about lobbying and teaching acceptance instead of how not to get fat if possible. :nope:

How many of you guys have been to Disneyland or Disney World and seen how many grossly overweight people are riding in a motorized chair? I thought they were for disabled people. And if they consider overweight as disabled then we're in trouble. If they got their fat ass out and walked we would be doing them a favor

sunvalleyslim 06-13-09 10:55 PM

Yes America is over weight but some of us are going to gyms to lose it.

And to you Sir my hat is off and I salute you. You have the courage to come forward, and know how to make the change.......:salute: :salute: :salute:

Overweight? I prefer to call it "being prepared for famine"! :D
