A couple of years ago some airlines decided that they would charge fat people for two seats, even if they did not require two seats. Of course, this was ridiculous, to ask that people over a certain weight, who could fit into a single seat, would be required to pay for a seat that they wouldn't be using, and then the airline would still go ahead and sell that second seat to another person, so the person forced to pay extra for it couldn't even have the use of it. Wrong on so many levels.
Now, in Canada, a Court has ruled something equally ridiculous on the other extreme. Now airlines in Canada must allow fat people to fly on a single ticket, paying for only one seat, even if they require two. Obviously the airline cannot sell that second seat because it's already occupied. This means that ultimately the money will be paid by everyone in the form of higher ticket prices for everyone. Once again, wrong on so many level.
How's this for a solution, everyone pays for the seats that they actually need to use. That way, everyone pays for what they use, and only what they use.
Where did the common sense go?
