http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/45257 … ticket.htmSamoa Air has become the first airline to start charging customers according to how much they weigh.
The company, based in the Samoan capital Apia, is the first to bring in the controversial measure that means overweight passengers pay more for their ticket.
A statement from Samoa Air said: "We at Samoa Air are keeping airfares fair, by charging our passengers only for what they weigh.
"You are the master of your air 'fair', you decide how much (or little) your ticket will cost. No more exorbitant excess baggage fees or being charged for baggage you may not carry. Your weight plus your baggage items, is what you pay for. Simple."
When booking online, customers are asked to enter their details, including the estimated weight of passengers and their baggage, and the fare is then calculated accordingly.
Customers prepay the estimated cost and the airline then weighs them at the airport, to ensure they have paid the correct amount.
Samoa Air chief executive Chris Langton said paying by weight is the fairest way to calculate fares.
Good. Fat people need to stop being cuddled and pay their fair share into society. Society is too kind to overweight people's feelings.
this is completely commonsensical policy. airlines that run baggage weight restrictions charge people ridiculous fees if they're even a few lbs over the prescribed limit, but then they'll let any fat cunt on board to drag the plane closer to terra firma. plus they stink up the cabin.

Tyranny?! I am okay with this. These machines are terrible.New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a bill into law on Monday banning children under 17 from using commercial tanning beds, a move stemming from the case of a local woman accused of taking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth.
Christie said that while he does not favor government regulation of small business, the new law was important for protecting the safety of minors.
"Governmental regulation of the private sector should always be carefully scrutinized, and sparingly adopted," he said in a statement. "The new restrictions imposed by this bill followed a single but breathlessly reported incident of a parent bringing a minor child into a tanning facility."
Patricia Krentcil of Nutley, New Jersey, was arrested in April 2012 after her daughter showed up at school with a sunburn and officials accused her of taking the child into a tanning booth.
Krentcil, who became known in tabloid stories as the "Tan Mom," testified that her own chocolate-brown hue came from many hours spent under the intense ultraviolet light of a tanning bed or out in the sun soaking up rays.
She denied exposing her daughter to a tanning session, and a grand jury opted not to indict her on charges of endangering the welfare of a child.
New Jersey was already one of several states that have regulations prohibiting anyone age 14 or younger from tanning with commercial ultraviolet devices because of the risk of skin cancer. The new law extends that ban to older teenagers.
Signing the bill into law, Christie noted the skin cancer risk and also that tanning before age 35 has been shown to increase the risk for melanoma by 75 percent.
mothers who take their kids to 'artificial tanning beds' should be taken to 'artificial cooking ovens'.
Let's just hope that pale skin comes back into vogue. I'm a goddamn trendsetter!Macbeth wrote:

i don't go on planes often but i support the airlines decision to weigh the fatties. sorry mate, you get no sympathy points.
Does that mean that airlines can discriminate against fat people that apply to be a flight attendants? Can they like deduct pay from them for being fat?

pretty sure most airline companies enforce a quiet policy of only taking on hot air stewards, anyway. i have a friend who graduated uni in my year and she decided to become an air hostess for a year, just for the adventure and travel, i guess. her family are rich whities based in dubai and she flies on arab emirates, super posh style. judging from her photos, all her colleagues are really hot white people.
she was one of my college favourites

I guess you dont get very many fat people applying to a job where you have to walk around all day and wait on other fat people

Syria has a lot of free positions in civil service.
all i know about it is that it pays really well and has a really selective recruitment process. so selective that new recruits, after a few months training, 'graduate' into the job.

I guess you can be as fat as you want, as long as you fit through the corridor between the seats.
And you have to sign a special contract, stating that you will never leave the center corridor to not create any imbalance.
Private Vendetta, tell us everything about the glorious world of flight attendants!

in the US it's illegal to ask for a photo with the resume.
in asia you have to submit a photo and if you are black, as cybargs intimated, you most likely will not get the job.
