Airlines: No Extra Charges Allowed for Overweight Passengers
Tags: obese, overweight
The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld a decision to force Canadian airlines to charge the same rate for disabled passengers needing a personal attendant, as well as obese passengers. I think most people would agree that the ruling for the disabled passengers is a positive one. I suspect that most people are not as compassionate when it comes to the overweight. Cue the can of worms... This issue has been hotly debated for several years now, with a high-profile situation involving Greyhound of the skies Southwest Airlines. They have a discreet policy which forces passengers that take up more than 1 seat to pay for 2 seats. Needless to say, this policy has drawn the ire of overweight passengers - claiming that Southwest "Hates Fat People".
