Girth Surcharge: Should Overweight People Pay More to Fly? {Gadling}

Oct 16th 2006 2:17PM As a deaf person, I subsidise / pay for your audio entertainment on board, your right to hear passenger announcements.

All people are different, and boxing people into a norm (by virtue of the services you provide, in this case the size of a seat), then you start to run into problems. If airlines had bigger seats in the first place / leg room, then there wouldn't be an issue.
