They can solve this by pricing your ticket per pound the same as they do with your luggage. Smaller people would get cheaper tickets and larger people would have more expensive tickets.

I don't care if your BMI is perfect, if you are 6'6" you are going to spill over.

You know, I kind of like this idea. They could scale their seating based on size/price too. So a larger passenger would pay more but ultimately be more comfortable. A smaller one would have less room but be paying less. My husband is 6'4" and slim, but never has enough room for his legs so I think a guarantee of legroom would be appealing to him for an extra $20-$30 bucks.

Then again, there is such a thing as first class. Maybe people of a certain size and over should be required to fly first class.

The problem is that first class includes a bunch of other stuff along with more room and is priced accordingly.

It would be nice if they would allow you to pick a larger seat and not have to pay for the lounge, free alcoholic drinks or fancy meals.
