You've gotta wonder how airlines in other countries have managed to stay afloat.
I mean do they pay the same type of taxes on airline fuel that they pay on gasoline?
If so, how have they managed to stay in business?

That’s the question I’ve had for the last 6 months! And then, who really wants to fly anyway. The service sucks, the help is hostile, the airports are ugly, crowded and downright dangerous, the racist goons they use for security hassle anyone lighter than Mohammed Ali, the food is over priced and it sucks as well.

It’s time to dump the airlines for short haul and bring back the trains. At least with trains you’ve got some breathing room.

Many of them are nationalised and receive subsidies from the rate payers.

Big Government payouts.

I think its about time really. Being fat and lazy is good for no one, and frankly I don’t appreciate having to pay extra money so obese people don’t get their feelings hurt. Sorry but BS! You did it to yourself, don’t ask me to drag your extra weight, like it so much, carry it and pay for it yourself.

Fewer fatties than in the US?

Many haven't. The ones that have are taxpayer-subsidized.
