Paying Extra For Being Fat
As summer vacations begin, some passengers on Southwest Airlines will
be pulled aside and, because of their weight, asked to buy a second
ticket. This controversial policy pits the commercial interests of the
airline against the dignity of overweight fliers and raises the issue
of whether anti-discrimination laws should be applied to obese people.
Isn't the problem the width, not weight?
Wider people weigh more.
They might or might not. A 5'0 individual weighing 200 lbs will likely
be wider then a 6'0 individual weighing 250 lbs.
Both weight and width are potential issues, depending on whether you
care about fuel or passenger comfort.
