Air France may bar obese passengers from flights

[Boobinator]

I think it's pretty absurd that it had to come to this in the first place, people being so fat they can't even fit into a normal seat.

But I'm inclined to agree with Air France. Just like everywhere else, the more you need, the more you pay. If you need double seats you should pay for double seats. Just like you pay for larger meals.
It's probably not very pleasant to be labelled fat like that, but if you need two seats and haven't noticed your obesity, that's the least of your issues.

Fact is, 99% of all obese people didn't get there by chance, it's something you gradually bring upon yourself because you don't give a shit. Frankly, I could never see this sort of sympathy for a smoker who has a larger hospital bill, or a drunk who is thrown out of a bar.

I dig that you use the same language as proselytizing.

I find that a baked bean sandwich, crab-cakes, and boiled broccoli are all I need.

Then I eat asparagus, eggs, and very rare beef, just to add to the aroma.

You want to sit next to me on a plane. I know it.

Tis a good start my lad. But first hand experience tells me this; pickled eggs are the final knock out blow to any flatulence contest.

Yes, I'll sit next to you on a plane. But if you aren't rocking to pickled egg farts to match my own there will be only one winner.

There can be only one. If we both use the same tactics, that's hardly fair. I think I shall develop my own techniques. I'm glad the pickled eggs work for you. I've yet to find my magic food. Perhaps pickled herring. I'll let you know, and when I do, your eyes shall water.

I shall await your call.

wow, i havent flown in 10 years, has it gotten this bad? :eek:

Nah I doubt it....Well I dunno about france but I flew to Canada last year and the plane was filled with ordinary people and quite a few hotties especially the flight attendants....Damn did I have nice day dreams.

It's horrible, also you have to show your papers like you're in Nazi Germany and take your shoes off. I heard your belt now.

It's too much to ask and it's too much to pay. Rent a vehicle and drive.

Ryanair was proposing a “fat tax” last year, after more than 30000 passengers voted to levy charges on overweight passengers.

[mrtrebus]

As long as this ban is only reserved for fat frenchies coming over to the UK.
Then I support it.
100%.

And please check the definition of Obesity.

If a third of the US-population is not just overweight or chubby but plain FAT, well makes you think about your real need for a large-scale health plan.

And if you have to pay more if you travel because you steal other peoples seats, that's just fair.

If I would have to sit next to a fat bastard who pushes his body on half of my seat, he will have to pay for that space or get off of it.

good post, rep for you.

If you need double seats you should pay for double seats. Just like you pay for larger meals.

maybe they can't pay for double seats because they spent all of their money on large meals.

 

[Jagger69]

I fly on business regularly....2-3 roundtrips/month are not unusual at all. I certainly have empathy for those of you who are struggling with being overweight but....if I have ever had to share a row with someone whose girth overlaps into MY space....well, I'm sorry, that's an infringement on MY rights to MY seat and they should have to pay for an extras seat to handle their obesity.

When I bought my ticket, I paid for a whole seat, not part of one. I have no issue with this new policy whatsoever. It isn't discrimination....it's physics.

 

[whoremaker]

It isn't discrimination....it's physics.

Brilliant! The entire debate distilled into five words. Love it! :thumbsup:

 

[Skyraider22]

Is this legal?

That is what I was thinking :dunno:

 

[GregCentauro]

So, pigs can't fly after all? :dunno:

 

[lurkingdirk]

So, pigs can't fly after all? :dunno:

You are such a shit disturber. :rofl2: Very good.


I like the Mondrian, by the way. Can't leave you a message, which you should change.

This can be resolved, they can have specially reserved seats for obese people.
