It also means I can never be a fighter pilot :( by Quétinbec 05/26/2009, 12:38am PDT
Or comfortably ride most rollercoasters. Or find nice clothes that are big enough, which is why I got into sewing. Not because I'm gay.

What are some other things, Cattlehumper?

How about this: it's long been a joke that fat people should pay more or have their luggage allowance reduced to compensate for their extra weight on flights. No airline has yet had the balls to try that because fat people are such whiny bitches, but QANTAS is testing the waters of physical discrimination by first fucking over tall people:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10574571

Tall people have traditionally requested a "seat by the exit" on long haul flights, knowing that there is extra leg-room available in those seats.

But Qantas are putting a stop to that. Unless people are prepared to pay more, that is.

The Australian carrier will penalise the tall by charging passengers extra for reserving economy class exit-row seats on its international flights.

Passengers looking for more leg room will be charged an extra $160 on long-haul flights, and $80 per sector on short-haul flights to Asia and New Zealand, the Daily Telegraph reported.

The charge will net the airline more than $2500 each flight and will begin next month.

An airline spokesman told the Daily Telegraph yesterday: "This will give customers greater choice and access to seats that offer more leg room."

The move follows similar charges employed by Virgin Blue across its domestic routes.
