#2  I'm 6'2" and 205 lb. My BMI says I'm "borderline obese" (a magic numbers rant for another time) but I don't hang over into the neighboring seats when I fly coach. I've sat next to people who really could have used the entire row themself.
Will those steamer trunks some people use as carry-on baggage be weighed also?

So the airlines have dropped the hidden fact that coach class is little more than hauling freight for them.

Any bets...that we see 10 ADA lawsuits in the next 30 days.
