One of the largest Chinese airlines call Hunai has started weighing their air hostesses to make sure they are the correct BMI. Reports do not say if the purpose is to save fuel, keep them healthy or keep them more attractive. What's going on here guys. It's all over the news |

There's a lot of it about Tom. It's the thin end of the wedge.
This summer, one airline will be weighing more than luggage. Air New Zealand announced on Tuesday that it will ask its passengers to step on the scales at their departure gates as part of a five-week customer weight survey. |

Will they be charging excess baggage? 
There'll be big queues at the loos when everyone tries to take one last massive shit before boarding.......

It is voluntary though. I don't know if I'd agree or not |

One of the air services to the Isles of Scilly has always weighed its passengers. It has a tiny six seater (maybe ten? can't remember precisely) aircraft, and has to weigh passengers and luggage quite carefully for allocating seats, in order to help balance the plane. It's apparently harder to fly if the plane is tipping sideways all the time... |

The airlines need to think smarter.
Most people don't want to sit by children on long flights or people who spill over in to the six square inches of seat space you've bought.
Stick the two together, as they fit like a well planned tetris game- jobs a good un  |

I think it's an excellent idea. Why on earth do I have to pay a fortune for a few kilos of luggage while someone who weighs twice what I do pays the same? Charging by weight seems fair given that weight directly correlates to fuel cost. They could weight the charges (no pun intended) to balance out the average difference between the sexes - it would be nice for the howls of outrage about trans people to target female to male for a change as it seems at the moment it's all the other way around.
Alternatively they could just charge a flat rate and the average cost burden for males would be a small token to acknowledge how it is so often the other way around. |
