Here's an idea: perhaps they should reduce fares for those with higher IQ's, as they might be better able to respond should there be an emergency. You would probably pay full fare. Here's hoping you get squashed between two fatties the next time you're on board.
LOL
There is nothing, NOTHING, more annoying, (and mean) than sanctimonious former overweight people (and smokers) who want to cram their newfound righteousness down other people's throats. They tend to forget how easily they might lose it, and revert to their old ways, in the event of a true crisis in their lives.
Rodeocowboy, we've had to pay for MANY stupid mistakes the airlines have made, that have cost people lives, not just money.
It is long past time for the airlines to stop and consider WHAT they are doing wrong, not just from a safety standpoint, but also a customer service standpoint.
Perhaps the reaction to this new policy (not to mention what's happened in the last year) will help bring that about.
Obviously you've never been to a Mensa gathering. Fattest group of people I've ever seen, especially the women.
A lot of people have noted that fat people bear the brunt of a lot of cruel remarks. I think exceptionally smart people, especially women, receive a lot of cruel remarks as well, and they respond by walling off the world with their fat.
