Skinny person chucked of flight for obese teenage girl

[MiniMan64]

I call bullst on this one...




...clearly there are no people in the US that only weight 8st.

[Tsippy]

I knew a rather tubby guy when I played rugby, he always bought two seats for himself when flying as he recognised he took up the space of two people..... no idea what would have happened if they gave him a seat either side of an aisle

Nar, I'm sure that there are a few 5 yearolds that can sneak under 8stone.

Only in America.

Surely some kind passenger could offer to take the thin girl on as hand luggage?

Only in America could a stand-by passenger not get on a flight because it's full?
I would disagree with that. I would suggest that it could happen in every country in the world.

Why couldnt they make her (McD's biggest customer) wait for the next plane, its hardly the skinny bints fault, tubby needs 2 seats is it

Because she's an unaccompanied minor.

Minor? She needs TWO seats!

Only minor if she was an elephant.

She was an unaccompanied diner.

If the person had said no, she could have stayed? She took pity on the overweight kid.

they "didnt want to leave a 14 year old stranded"
why not? She was fat as hell, that'd need a chubby chasing, peado to kidnap and rape her, thats going to be a pretty niche pervert and in any case she'd be pretty hard to kidnap if she's that fat and he'd probably just end up raping one of her folds of skin and not her actual sweaty love tunnel anyway.

She had a bald patch too.

Make fatties pay for 2 seats and these problems simply wouldn't exist.

I imagine that if it were normal policy of the airline to do that, the article might even mention it...

Many good points, all well made

while people who eat themselves into super obesity get no sympathy from me, what about the likes of jason leonard, or a heavyweight bodybuilder?

What UA does has nothing to do with being overweight. It's pretty simply really, ignore BMI and all that stuff because it has nothing to do with it. If you don't fit in one seat or can't fasten the seatbelt with an extension, you get to pay for another, at 75% I think.

I dare say Jason Leonard can wait unnaccompanied at the airport. But you can tell him he's not flying.

How do you get so fat as to need two seats at 14? They should have banned her parents from ever seeing her again and sterilsed them at the same time. As for the girl, the only place she should have flown to is fat camp.

What logic!

Even if her parents were both healthy and not overweight?

You get sooo fat as to need 2 seats by daily visiting McLibels and drinking gallons of 'coke' and tons of processed crap.
That easy.
