You pay more to park a SUV in a parking garage and a SUV burns more gas
Really? Where?
Does your SUV take more than one spot? Then you should pay for more than one. If it doesn't, then you shouldn't.

What is fat, who is going to pay, what if they can't pay, then who will pay?
Yes. They should pay more. I'm tired of sitting next to these huge people who are half way eating in to my seat. I paid for my ticket, why should they infringe upon my comfort. Fair is fair. You are heavier, you should pay more.
And please stop with the slippery slope argument. It's a classic fallacy and assumes a relatively small first step inevitably leads to a chain of related events culminating in some drastic outcome. It assumes no middle ground and we're all brainless. This is simply a matter of fairness. When I send 4 wheels cross country, I should naturally pay more than sending one wheel.
...then who will pay?
It's a SPACE ISSUE.
If you need more than one seat, then you pay for more than one. If you can't afford it, then you don't fly, just like anyone else who can't afford it.
This isn't complicated.
"I'm sorry sir, your fat ass won't fit in one seat, you'll have to pay for two."
"I can't afford that, and that's discrimination!!!!!1!ONE!!!"
"There's the door, sir."
Problem solved.
I'm sure it'll eventually boil down to the responsible (healthy) folks bearing the burden for everyone else. As it always does....
People cry discrimination and before you know it we all pay for their "fat asses."
Sure wish it were that easy but it's not. I have seen it in every other situation where similar charges are imposed. People cry discrimination and before you know it we all pay for their "fat asses."
Happening right now. Since our country is so fat, and so many can't get healthcare they deem "affordable", government is getting rid of the insurance industry's ability to price based on risk.
And everyone else is footing the bill for the fat asses!
I can't believe this is happening. That's like an auto insurance company not being able to raise your premiums after 3 DUI's and 10 accidents.
This is going to be a friggen mess. I bet my rates will double.

I had that happen to me 2 times. The fat ass next to me was all on top of me with his arm. I was pissed and called the air line about it because it was not right that I had to deal with that.
Any of you notice the guy setting next to him? Looks a little nervous to me.:tongue:
