Airline to begin weighing passengers and carry-on baggage

Airline to begin weighing passengers and carry-on baggage
quote:
(Gray News) – Finnair said it will begin weighing passengers and their carry-on baggage at the departure gate to optimize the aircraft’s balance calculations.
The airline said in a news release, weighing is voluntary and anonymous.
“We record the total weight and background information of the customer and their carry-on baggage, but we do not ask for the name or booking number, for example,” Finnair Head of Ground Processes Satu Munnukka said.
“Only the customer service agent working at the measuring point can see the total weight, so you can participate in the study with peace of mind.”
The data recorded will be sent to the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency for confirmation and will then be used for aircraft balance and loading calculations for future flights between 2025-2030.
According to the airline, each plane has a set maximum weight that cannot be exceeded to ensure a safe take-off.
The weight of the aircraft includes the weight of the aircraft itself and its fuel, checked baggage and cargo, onboard catering, water tanks and passengers.

That's great and all, but I've seen walruses that should in the the ailse at the plane's center of gravity.

I think this is a great idea and probs should’ve been doing it for a while.

As people get fatter they can’t assume weights any more for weight and balance.
You get a flight going to a fat people or comic book convention and you might not make it too far past the end of the runway.

There actually was a recent thing in Japan where I believe JAL actually sent in a second plane because of all the sumo wrestlers on the flight and making the original one plane overweight

This is something no guy gives a shite about but every woman is mortified.
I took a helicopter flight once and they weighed everybody at the helipad because they have to assign seats based on precise weight balance in a helicopter. The men just hopped on the scale like it was NBD and the women all had panic attacks even though nobody could see the scale except for the gate agent.

It's attention seeking.

Good. Once they see the numbers my fat-arse posts, it will ensure I have an entire row to myself. Pass me the skittles, slim.

Lead and gold weigh about the same but lead has a whole lot less actual value so mules like me will just wind up unemployed.
:sigh:

Two things I know with absolute certainty
#1 Do not touch a black woman's hair without permission.
#2 Do not put a black woman on a scale in public commerce.
Imagine this outcome x 10!

Can you get a discount for being under a certain body fat percentage?
Posted on 2/10/24 at 8:35 pm to WildcatMike
Hopefully this is the start of a trend.
It'll mean a lot less fat asses getting on flights and taking up 2 seats b/c they're so slothingly obese.

Any flight between Jackson, MS and ATL will be at capacity of 350lb females. I'm often the only honky on the flight. It's scary as airlines use a weight of 170lb per person for fuel planning purposes.

Well this is going to end well…..
