Weighing passengers before they board a flight.

I'll go for 13 stone for people in Europe and 15 stone for USA

Average weight of Europeans 11 stone average weight of Americans 17 stone

This is exactly what I was thinking recently when me and the better half went on holiday recently.

My hand luggage was over the regulated allowance so I had to take out alot of my belongings and put it into her suitcase.
Fine, rules are rules.
But when you take into account why these rules are in place (more weight equals more fuel)

Why the fuck are we both paying the same amount for our tickets than the obese fat bastards who are behind us in the queue?
We both weigh a combined total of 20st (12/8)
Yet just one obese individual in the queue weighs in excess of 25st

Now there are health conditions which result in obesity and they should be taken into account with proof from a doctors note or something but when you have people who literally self abuse themselves and choose to have excess fat then this is when they should be paying more to carry their weight.

But if you ask them why they're a fat bastard they reply "I only eat salad, must be that I have an underactive thyroid problem"

Salad by the skip full is not recommended you fibbing flabby bastards!

Bimbo, I bet you aren't popular with the trolley dollies as you're sat there in the Isle seat tripping them up every time they come past with your big hairy feet. I used to have to sit in the Isle same as my ex had the same problem; )

In first class they clip your nails before massaging them WITH THEIR TONGUES.

I see the points, but it's a can of worms with people who suffer from weight issues because of health and psychological illnesses.

It was, until they ate all the worms.

Just for fun, take a guess what the average weight for a passenger and his/her carry on baggage used in the loading and performance calculations is in a) Europe and b) USA?

I'd go for 90kg and 110kg

 

[Gelsons Dad]

I'd go for 90kg and 110kg

So the regulation for average passengers on standard flights in EU is 84kg and US 88kg. Remember that's the passenger and their carry on bags.
We can use lower weights for charter flights. 76kg in EU.

If we have more than 23% females we can choose to use individual weights for Males and Females of 88 and 70 respectively but only do this if it gives a lower total than using the standard weight.

For those stuck in the 60s 84kg = 185lb or 13st 3.
