Fat Slobs To Sue Air Canada - Because AC Charged Pigs When 2 Seats Occupied
Fat slobs now have permission to sue Air canada.
A Quebec judge has authorized a class action lawsuit against Air Canada filed on behalf of obese passengers who had to pay the airline additional fees because of their obesity. Montreal law firm BGA Barristers & Solicitors LLP announced the class action authorization Monday. It seems the swine did not like having to pay double because they took up TWO SEATS. The airlines base their rates on how many passengers can be on the plane. If someone is going to take up 2 seats, then the airline should have the right to charge them for 2 seats. Not to sound rude, although I know it will, the obese person also likely weighs as much as 2 passengers too, and that affects fuel consumption too. The skinny man shouldn't be subsidizing the obese, as those costs get passed along to the other passengers. If I have to pay full price to buy a seat for my 2 year old, even though he'll spend most of the flight on my lap anyway, those taking up 2 seats should have to pay for it. period. |

Unlike in the U.S., this action is illegal in Canada. |

How about a compromise.... It might be argued that they seats are designed to seat the average person. There are big people and there are small people. They could arrange to have small seats for the skinny twerp, larger seats for the obese, seats without leg room for short people and legs with lots of leg room for the tall people. They assign people to sets according to their height and girth. They can have the same number of seats and still be able to accommodate people of all dimensions. It should be noted that some airlines are able to operate and provide comfortable seating for large passengers. I am a big guy and sometimes find myself crammed into airline seats. A overseas flight on Air Transat was like flying in a sardine tin. A subsequent flight on KLM was no better, but Air Canada had nice roomy seating and my next trip on KLM was also very comfortable. Flying point to point in the US, the seating was quite roomy. Don't me the crap about weight. They are putting the squeeze on passengers these days so they can carry more freight. |
