I remember in 1956 we had the local Civil Air Patrol raise funds by giving people a ride on small aircraft for one penny a pound. We need to charge people according to weight. The plane spends more gasoline to get their carcass in the air, they shouldn’t pay the same.

Logic and fairness do not apply in America any more.

Somewhere in an “elite” American Law School, a human scum, still in its larval stage, is plotting a lucrative career in Lipid Discrimination lawsuits.

I was flying a little puddle jumper from Anchorage to a village once. At check-in, the gal asked your weight. Two women checked in after me, one was a hefty gal. She was asked her weight and she whispered 175. The worker told her they need the actual weight so the plane can be balanced and not crash. She blushed and said 245. I guess that airline worker used to guess weights at the carnival, she knew a lie when she heard one.
