loveisdead9582 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I mean… if it is completely anonymous and there is no weight shown to both passengers and staff, this would be market research. Planes can only have so much weight on them through baggage and passenger weight plus the weight of the fuel, etc. being able to accurately account for the weight of passengers, baggage, etc allows for the airlines to properly book the planes. It’s not like someone’s weight could prevent them from getting on their flight with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espresso Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I'm fine with this, and it's nothing new. For small planes in coastal inner-state travel in the U.S. such as Cape Cod, MA, this is very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Communion Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 People in general - regardless of their weight - should be flying less. The issue is how many times individuals are flying, not the weight of the person flying. One obese person flying one time in the next 5 years isn't having the same impact on the environment as a skinny person who regularly flies. We've become too entitled to the idea that we as humans have some innate right to globe-trotting when the reality is that such grand adventurism and travel is one part of what's killing the planet. And I get that it can feel silly to regulate what normal people when the rich will continue to do the worst offensives, but they should be included who we regulate. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the bullet train project in California to finish already. Imagine all the plane and car rides it can reduce.

Cheers Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 That's fine. There's a weight limit on those planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the forced necessity of air travel is a bigger issue. For many people who want to see their family you either need to drive for days or fly there. We need better public transit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthteller Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 There’s weight limits to luggage so it makes a lot of sense tbh. Hope it won’t cause too much inconvenience during checkin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
