Bring back fat shaming
Posted on 10/27/24 at 11:05 am to RaoulDuke504
Wonder what Samoan airlines could save...

United Airlines took part in the bail out after Covid that helped ruin the economy, so frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

They compensate their pricing to account for it. I promise you they wouldn't lower their prices if we all magically weighed less.

Which means non fat people are subsidizing fat person travel.

That doesn't make sense
Let's say a helicopter weighs 7903 pounds (EC145 C-2) and let's say weight is the main cost driver for fuel usage which I am not convinced it is
You have 3 passengers avg 200lbs so standard wight is 8503 if you have a 350 pound baw in there you 1.76% over standard weight.
Why would cost go up 50%?

Not even close - they airline will charge what the market will bare their pricing allogrithm are famous
So the price is in no way tied to what passengers weigh

20 fat people using wheelchairs on my blast flight. Their only handicap was weight. Thats not all the fat people that wear on the flight just the wost of the worst.

Beating and dragging passengers off thenplane has worked for them in the past, they should stick to what they're good at before telling others what to do

makes sense.

Because the helicopter can only take so much weight and the more fatties the fewer number of paying passengers they can take.

Makes perfect sense to a businessman, and to most other folks.
Helicopter can carry a max weight. You get two 300 lbers on there and you will reduce pax from 5-4.
So because these people are too fat, you lose revenue.

Stop allowing cows to take up two seats but only change them for one.
Be the change you want to be.

They're doing their part by not feeding the passengers.
I like the meals they serve on United better than the ones served on American. American is way better at serving cocktails before takeoff. The beverage service on United is awful.

That's around 20 million gallons spent on fatties.
