Double the price of all seats then and blame it on fat people.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A.

'One person, one fare' sounds reasonable, dunnit? ..just like 'one parking place' holds 'one car' :)

Fat chance of that working!

[Nish Nishant]

Yes but the implication here is that obese people are actually 2 (or more) people.

Can I interest you in a relevant web site? "YouParkLikeAC**t.com" I'm sure you can work out the missing two letters, but it's definitely NSFW!

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No, it is not. It is one person, occupying two travelling-spaces. The limiting factors for an airplane are room and weight. It does not cost them less fuel, simply because some bureaucrat decided that the universe is not politically correct.

If I were CEO of the airlines, I would install arm rests that did not go up. "Yep, we gave you 22A and 22B. Good luck!" Or maybe I'd give two seats in separate isles...

Shipping _one_ vehicle with e.g. a Ferry or Train then costs always the same....whether it is a passenger car or a truck...? I have my doubts.

How can I possibly respond to this thread without offending obese people? :sigh:

That's a bit extreme - surely separate aisles[^] would work just as well? ;P
