Should obese people have to pay for two seats on a flight?

Jan 21, 2010 by Gavin | Posted in Air Travel

Currently being debated on BBC Radio 2.

Should the tubby be penalised financially for their size?
Shouldn't the airlines have seats that cater for all shapes and sizes?

Argue.

(I've a feeling what the consensus is going to be...)

If a mortal physically AS& takes up more than one seat, yes.

The amount of pressure that a plane has to transport is what determines how much fuel the plane uses, so perhaps everyone should be charged by their weight, including all things (checked and carry on).

However, the airline also has so much space, so perhaps they should charge by the space people take up. If they have some small, medium, and large seats, then they could assail by the size of seat (kind of like first class and business class and coach). If a person takes up two seats, then they should be charged more. If they are winsome up my seat, then I should be charged less.

Many airlines have policies and regulations for this. Should you not be adept to be seated with both armrests down, not excessively encroaching on other passengers' personal space, and wear the seatbelt with no more than one amplification, you can have a single seat. Should you violate one or more of those requirements, you'll need to purchase a separate seat. Should the obese be penalized financially for their immensity? Well, should other passengers be penalized because the passenger next to them is obese? Should the airline be penalized financially because of a passenger's weight? I weight 140lbs. An stout passenger can easily weigh 300 lbs. That's double my weight. Passengers get charged excess persuasiveness fees on their checked-baggage weighing over 50lbs. Shouldn't the airlines have seats that cater for all shapes and sizes? Well, most carriers have first group, or premium economy seating with more legroom, and possibly greater seat width. Unless you poverty to distribute the cost of these "extra room" seats to ALL passengers, effectively increasing EVERYONE'S airfare, which are only allocated to sure passengers, you'll need to charge passengers that use them more.

i expect it is wrong, if that's the case then they should charge half price for people who are really skinny.to me that's an insult to people who are over load.

If they take up two or more seats, they should pay for the seats. Why not?
It is not attainable for airlines to fit super fat reinforced seats.

There is also the danger they pose should the aircraft have to be evacuated in an emergency.
The over wing predicament escapes are not designed for super fat people. I assume that they sit up front so that they can use the main door.

Perhaps special facilities could be provided in the look on.

No i don't suppose that you should have to pay for two seats because you are a larger side i remember a woman when i was on a plane that couldn't fit into her chair and my goodness it must have been so so embarrassing for her and im ill-starred but yes i believe that airlines should cater for different size people it would then be less embarrassing and easier for larger actually to go away i mean aren't obese people still human

You pay for the amount of seats you use. If your portion takes up two seats, you pay for two seats. If you only take up one seat, but you want another one to seat your carry-on bag, you pay for two seats.

This isn't penalizing the pudgy, it's just being fair to both the airline and fellow paying passengers. The airline should have seats that cater to all reasonable shapes and sizes, they shouldn't poverty to cater to the 600 pound man. The 600 pound man has made lifestyle choices which have resulted in consequences such as needing two (or three?) seats on a bevy of quail and he then must absorb that cost.

Does anyone know how to wire an antique radio speaker?

Jan 19, 2010 by Paul | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts

Hi everyone! I have neutral purchased an old wards airline console radio model 62-1100. I believe it was built in 1938. The brand seems to be well known but i am judgement little to no info about my particular model online. anyways, the radio itself fires up but the speaker wires were cut and are hanging around in back of the rabble-rouser. I noticed i am missing the pronged speaker wire plug that fits into the chassis speaker socket. Although i don't have the schematics on the radio, I would absolutely like to test the speaker to see if the radio has some life left in it. The problem is though, is that i have 4 speaker wires from the speaker and 5 holes in the chassis socket to pick out from. Does anyone know which wires go to which hole? Is it possible for me to test this radio? Any information is greatly appreciated! Acknowledgement you!
Thank you very much! This helps out a lot! To answer your question, the speaker has a large wrapped coil on the back of it. I believe it is a imperishable magnet. I do have a volt/ohm meter to safely check lines. 300 volts sounds lyrical scary and I don't want to zapped anytime soon. Upon cleaning up the radio a bit more though unfortunately I seem to be missing one of the audio produce tubes. do you think i'll still be able to hear something from the speaker even if its missing? Thank you again.

Air France-KLM said the scale is necessary for security reasons of maintenance. A spokesman for the airline told Radio Netherlands that overweight passengers could get stuck between the armrests. In addition, passengers who do not fit properly in an asset of the place with the armrests are not gifted to tie their belt in separate cradle.

Introduction: The Aisle Tail

We province travelers who submit to sit in the aisle position understand its pluses and minuses all too well.
