Woman weighed like baggage before flight!

[marylander1940]

OP note: When it comes to small planes weight matters and it must be distributed around it. I didn't even know luggage scales were able to weigh a person. 

This raises other questions in this era: Should overweight passengers pay an extra fee or buy 2 tickets?

Weight matter on helicopters too.  Many years ago my partner and I took a helicopter to Heron Island in Australlia.  We were only allowed one piece of luggage and the luggage as well as both of us were weighed one at a time but not on a baggage scale.  There were lockers available for extra luggage so you could pick it up when returning.

If we are going to start weighing people and charging them for 2 seats, them airlines should impose height limits as well and make unusually tall people sit in the premium section so others can recline their seats

Tall people don't waste more fuel and effect overall weight & balance... Overweight people do. 

That's the bottom line when flying in smaller aircraft or helicopters.

However, larger people who can't fit into one seat in commercial aircraft should be required to purchase a second seat.

Or, they could stop reducing the space between rows.

Anorexic passengers and midgets and dwarfs should get a discount.  Open up purging lounges in the airport to allow a place for passengers to regurgitate their stomachs before weigh in for flights on budget airlines.

Obese Passenger: United Airlines Should Make Wider Aisles – It Is Guilty Of Discrimination Against “Plus-Sized” People

Obese Passenger Accuses United Airlines Of Discrimination For Narrow Aisles - Live and Let's Fly

An obese passenger has accused United Airlines of discrimination, claiming the aisles are too narrow for her.

They let her use a baggage scale?  When I get weighed at the airport they flop me into a canvas sling and hoist me with a crane.  But seriously, any time I have been on a helicopter I have been weighed discreetly - what hasn't been discreet is when they put me on the conveyer belt and squeeze me through the x-ray machine.

I can recall having been weighed for some small plane flights as well. I can't remember which ones. Maybe the small plane which goes from Provincetown to Boston? Anyone here remember if that's one of those flights?

I don’t recollect that particular route…but for the small floatplanes in the Pacific Northwest you’ll almost always get weighed. Seattle, Vancouver, up/down British Columbia and Alaska I’ve flown in float planes and been weighed.

I’ve been weighted getting on small planes all over the world.

It’s not a big deal. As others have said, it’s a simple matter of air safety.

Well that, plus according to the article, that fat ass bitch told them she only weighted #130.
Are you fucking kidding me? I wouldn’t get on a small plane without weighing that lying heifer either.

Especially for this type.

I haven't flown on a small plane for decades. But back in the day, when I was flying in places like Hawaii, the Caribbean and in Canada in remote places on small planes, we were never weighed. But then we were very fit and height and weight proportionate.  

In those days I was 5'11", 160 pounds and had a 30 inch waist. Same with my boyfriend although he was an inch taller. I think they just took one look at us and gave us a pass.

. . . . . Weighed?  I thought you said I'd need to get laid.

 Flew ONT to LAX.  Very small plane, but we weren't weighed.  However, when the pilot came onboard, he eyeballed all of us, and had some of us move to different seats.

Same here.

I've visited a lot of remote locations that can only accept small prop planes. They weigh both you and your luggage toegther. It's not a big deal when you're not already embarrassed by your obesity.

I'm so tired of hearing about fat women. They're so annoying, pathetic, and entitled.

 

There still isn't any love for fat men and obese male models among all that modern fat body positivity bullshit.

I doubt it!

Plenty of posters are overweight and in many threads on the subject they talk about how lucky they get with men who are attracted to them or simply want to try someone with a different body type!
