Not sure if I am oppose this or not. However, discrimination is discrimination. In order for an airline to price the ticket, they would have to make distinctions to charge people differently per weight. There's no getting around the definition of the word. Also, the word is not an antithesis to physics.

That is all. Carry on.

You're all on the wrong track. Heavier passengers can actually save the airlines money and can be offered discounts or extra mileage awards. For take-off and landing, have them sit where needed to necessitate the CG range. During cruise, start the musical chairs and shift the heavies to the back in what could be considered a maintenance free and poor man's (airline's) Tail Fuel Management system.

I think we should charge based on how much hair you have. I'm tired of people with all that fancy hair not paying their full share. The follically challenged (those pesky PC police!) need a break.
There you go Rhino, thinking outside the box just like you said.

Congratulations! Another one flipped from the dark side.

But that seems like it is "neither hair nor there."
