Excellent.... This sends a message of, hey if you dont take care of yourself have no fear, we will force private industry to cater to you. And in my opinion if you do have medical related obesety which is outside of your control than that condition needs to be qualifed as a disabeling disorder. Much like being in a wheelchair and things of that nature. But if you are to large for one seat because of the choices you make, you need to be paying for the seats you are occupying. But I guess the whole idea of responsiblity is going out the window. It isnt anyones fault they are fat, its McDonalds, and Trans Fats or stress from work. We are headed down a dark road.

This is ridiculous. If a person is too fat to fit in one seat, he or she should pay for two. The airlines will have to recoup any losses caused by this by raising the ticket prices for everybody.

I can't stand the obese. Their condition demonstrates a complete lack of self-respect and mental weakness. If you take up two seats on a plane, you need to pay for both.

The solution?

Charge EVERYBODY "by the seat". Phrase it like that, and it's not discrimination based on their "disability", it's just the ticketing policy.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Solution: begin charging people by the pound.

But it's not their fault! They have an illness that wasn't diagnosed until after they broke the 300 pound mark.

Maybe a healthy jog to the relatives home on Thanksgiving instead of an airline flight may be the way to go.

It really shouldn't make a difference if they are disabled or not if they cause extra costs or require additional space. If they take up more space, they should pay for that space. Why isn't really relevant.

Nah that won't work because it's too logical.

Thank you Chan...I can't believe that people who rant so loudly about individual freedom of choice will then say that people should be unable to live as their natural body type dictates.

Who are you lot to say people should conform to the current idiotic trend toward fashionably thin? If we lived a few hundred years ago, or if we lived in Togo, the fashion would be toward Titianesquely generous proportions, not skinned rats.

If there are fat people, there are also thin. If fat people are undercharged, thin people are overcharged. But it's all nonsense as the airlines have a duty to provide a product fit for the purpose it is sold for.

They must provide seating adequate for all body shapes or specify that anyone with an *** wider than xxxx centimetres cannot purchase a seat as it is not suitable for that purpose. They will not do this unless they are forced, because people are not their priority. Profit is.

So I support this ruling.
