I made the decision years ago that I'd rather stick my penis in a grease fire then ever step foot on an airplane again.

I'll stop flying the day they make a Greyhound bus that drives at 500 MPH.

That's why I drive. Which I also hate doing. But I hate taking the bus even more, and the train most of all. That's why I became a pirate. Water travel is relaxing.I feel the same, but my wife is hoot as your pic and she likes to fly. So I fly

Its about time. I can't stand those assholes who carry suitcases on board, take up all the room in the overheads and hold up the boarding and unboarding. CHECK YOUR FUCKING BAG.a decision to charge for carry on baggage has been made
Next they should start charging by the pound, luggage + passenger. Over a certain weight gets to sit in special seats designed for them instead of having their fat arms in my lap. I paid for this fucking space for this particular time; its mine and get the fuck out of it.

Yeah the only thing is it would be insanely complicated.
Charging by weight for anyone but the most obese would be the worst business decision anyone could possibly make. Especially for women. If they take up two seats, they should buy two seats, though.

Yeah its really difficult to weigh stuff and have larger seats on a certain section of the plane. Oh wait, both are already done; the former for freight and the latter for first class.

Humans aren't freight. The difference in weight between them usually isn't much, and at best it would be insulting. If their too obese too fit in the normal seats, I'd agree wtih airlines charging them extra. But weighing everyone is just another annoying and possibly insulting complication. That's why no one's going to do it.

This isn't the 1950's when folks got in their Sunday best to fly on a plane; humans are freight.
Its not an insult to get weighed, its just a number. People just look at you and can tell if you're fat or skinny.
Some folks are proud that they're fat; others proud to be skinny. Heck there's a woman trying to break the record and get to a thousand. She's got a website and sells sexy photos.
You go on a zip line and they weigh you. Planes would be more safe if the pilot knew the weight before he took off and could balance the aircraft. A while back a plane couldn't take off a while back because it had too much fat on board.

Why? Private corporations can do whatever they want to. I'm not advocating government intervention.

And that's why they're not doing this. It's just awful, awful for business.
Plus, they sell tickets in advance. You don't want to tell people to check in for their weighing before they can get their ticket. No one will like you.

Folks who like low fares, like safety and hate having some fat person's arms on their lap will like me.

Travel by train is great. Sitting in the clubcar having a cold beverage and perhaps a snack as you watch the landscape go by is excellent.
