I hope it catches on

I recently shared a post about babies on planes, today I read an article that made me even happier.  Samoa Air airlines has implemented a pay-as-you-weigh policy, boldly tackling an issue other have found too delicate to talk about.


Before you shout and say that is so wrong and unfair, think of this:

"It works both ways. People who pay more deserve more. ... So, it is in our interests that we take care of the people that who've chalked in at 150, 180 kilograms (330, 396 pounds). They've paid their fare and the we try to give them what they should have, which is a comfortable seat. We try to make sure they have space around them, that taller people have got more leg room -- within the confines of the airplane these days we try to do it."
