Skinny people airline

Does that also include the stewardesses or the flight attendants or whatever they call themselves now?

yes, the company would only hire people who meet the requirements.

it would be an overweight/fat-free zone.

5 ft at 200 lbs does not a skinny person make thus no SPA. However if the ticket isn't 2/3 more to have exclusive right to discriminate against obese people by saying your providing a service and in fact it's 2/3 less it may give people more incentive to lose weight.

tall people tend to earn more, studies have shown.

you want their business.

No, I don't. It's a low-cost airline, tall people can fly business class.

Hell yeah, were do I sign up. I should be rewarded for being such a skinny stud.

The scale challenged people would be up in arms though.

200lb's isn't exactly 'skinny people' though is it? Well, unless you're a guy. I guess us girls should have even cheaper 'girls only under 130lb' flights

Agreed - 200 lb for men, 170 lb for women.

I am scale challenged and I would welcome this.

It has more merit than standing room only airlines, that's for sure

I just flew in on SRAirlines, and boy, are my legs tired!

You are a big man to step aside and give this a honest look, I appreciate it.

Is that your weight in the avatar?

What would happen if all the airlines competed for the skinny people though? Would the fatties get a chance to fly at all? Would there be a 'fat people only' comfort airline, expensive but with huge chairs and gourmet meals?

If there's a profit to be made in it, yes.

And would it stop at the airlines? Or would there soon be Skinny People Buses & Train Service? Skinny People Cars Only, on Amtrak & NJ Transit.

Skinny people,

If you had the option of flying on an airline where tickets cost two-thirds that of other airlines, with the caveat that tickets would only be sold to people with BMI's of 25 and below, would you do it?

Yep.

[mawilson 2,133]

They could just limit by weight.

limiting by bmi makes more sense.

I guess one could argue that limiting by BMI would not be unconstitutional, because the BMI is not

something you're born with (unlike, say, your race or height.) There are precedents for this kind of

discrimination - for example, insurance companies denying coverage to morbidly obese people.

Being fat is unhealthy.

We already exclude smokers (another unhealthy subgroup) from many places, there's no reason we can't kick people out for overindulging in Twinkies.
