Conceptually I have no issue with it (even at 6' 2", average build but heavier than most due to height), but the costs of doing it would outweigh the benefits.
i agree with you.....we are paying to get from one place to other.....most are regular weight but others not should not have to pay more because they like to eat.....smile) let the skinny people pay reg price as get same service....why should someone pay more because they used more jet fuel for voyage
