Clearly, these other companies found a way not to denigrate a human being and provide transport to him without the sky falling, unlike BA.
I haven't been able to keep up with this thread.
However if a company thinks that its not beneficial for the safety of their other passengers and their staff to allow this man to travel. Therefore its their decision to benefit everybody. It had nothing to do with the plane crashing, as Eurostar trains don't normally fly. (If you have ever seen one fly, then please don't tell me). Eurostar's computers also said no.
My safety is important to my family. I am not very worried about anything happening to me. When it happens, there is little I will be able to do.
Even in hospitals rooms are designed for different weights. This is a cost thing, and them not expecting very heavy people.
All BA said it wasn't safe, in the end that matters for everyone not just a selected few.
