where the issue here is.
airlines make money by selling seats.
if an ass occupies 2 seats which are designed to accommodate 2 separate asses - the person with the oversized ass should pay more under the current system.
if you charge by the weight of the individual someone somewhere will piss and moan about discriminating against fat people.
the aircraft obviously has a weight limitation, so selling seats by weight wouldnt be profitable because inevitably you would depart with a fair number of empty seats which would have otherwise been filled.
the fairest way to do it is to sell seats for a specified price.
if you need two seats, buy two seats.
